Class Filters

One more way that you can filter your guide is through the Classes drop-down menu. From this menu you can select classifications such as PPV, Subscrptn, Attractns, etc.

The Subscrptn option will exclude the PPV channels from the on- screen guide.

The PPV option will list only channels offering PPV programs.

The Schedule option will list channels that have events that are scheduled to be viewed or taped. Only the currently selected guide period is included in this filter process.

The Classes pop-up menu

The INFORMATION Screen

To obtain more information about a particular program while viewing one of the various on-screen

guides, press the key.

The INFORMATION screen offers the same program description that has been explained earlier, and more. You can see displayed the program’s actual start time and duration, the program rating, and a variety of options associated with the selected program.

There are many variations of button combinations that could exist.

 

The button on the left side of the Things to Do area could be View,

 

PreSelect, or Cancel PreSelect . The button on the right side refers to

 

PPV programs only and your receiver must authorized to make such

 

purchases for this button to ever be displayed. It could be Buy $ ,

 

Cancel Purchase, or Buy Options.

The INFORMATION screen

Let’s examine the possible buttons that may be available.

 

Done

When you highlight the Done button and press , you will be returned to the guide (or to the channel offering a purchase if accessed from video).

View

After reading the program description and related information, you may choose to view it by

highlighting the View button and pressing . If this is a PPV event, it may be necessary to complete the purchase process (either on-screen or by calling your service provider) before the program can actually be viewed.

PreSelect

This is one of the handiest features of your digital satellite receiver. You can use PreSelect to actually plan your evening or weekend viewing, then just let the remote disappear into the cushions of your sofa. PreSelect, when selected, will initiate a drop-down menu offering two choices: To View and Don’t PreSelect.

You can perform the PreSelect capability from within the on-screen guides. Simply highlight the

program that you want schedule and press the key. Each press of the key cycles through the available options.
