Filtering the Guides

Sometimes, searching through hundreds of programs looking for those that are of interest to you can be just a bit overwhelming. The digital satellite receiver is prepared to help you hunt. By pressing the key while already in a guide, a Guide pop-up menu will be displayed. This pop-up menu provides the filtering tools as well as ways to navigate away from the on-screen guide and choose other guide styles.

By combining each of these filter options, you can quickly narrow down 200+ channels to those that meet your current viewing interests. Once you exit to watching your program, all filters, except for the favorite list, will reset to an unfiltered condition.

You should also be aware that some guide styles might not provide access to certain filter options.
