Main Menu

From the MAIN MENU you can branch in any direction including the on-screen guide, customize your system features, check incoming mail, lock and unlock your

system, and more.

There are two ways to get to the MAIN MENU. First, you can press

the keys on the remote control. Another way to get to

the MAIN MENU is by pressing while one of the on-screen guides is displayed to initiate the pop-up GUIDE MENU followed by selecting the Main Menu button.

Places to go from the MAIN MENU

Guide

The MAIN MENU

As you have probably guessed, the Guide button takes you from the

MAIN MENU to the on-screen guide. You can use the guide to display what’s available at a given time. The guide also has available a pop-up menu of buttons that are useful for filtering the guide down to only those channels offering programming that is of particular interest to you or to change the style of the on-screen guide. See the chapter, “The On-Screen Guides” for detailed information on using the on-screen guides.

A quicker way to access the on-screen guide from the MAIN MENU or any other menu is by pressing

the key, either on the remote control or on the digital satellite receiver’s front panel.

Setup Menu

The Setup button will take you to the SETUP MENU. The SETUP MENU provides access to infrequently changed setup options of your digital satellite receiver. Refer to the “Setup Menu” section found later in this chapter.

Scheduler

The Scheduler button takes you to the SCHEDULER screen. The SCHEDULER is where you can program and edit automated channel changing events. Events can be programmed to occur as one-time events or as recurring events. Refer to the “Event Timer” section found later in this chapter.

Check Mail

The Check Mail button takes you to the CHECK MAIL screen. The mail feature enables the service providers to inform you about upcoming special events, programming changes, offers, and other important information. Refer to the “Check Mail” section found later in this chapter.

Purchases

The Purchases button takes you to the PURCHASES screen. From the PURCHASES screen you can review your recent pay-per-view activity, including past purchases and events that have been purchased in advance. Refer to the “Purchases” section found later in this chapter.

New Card

The New Card button takes you to the NEW ACCESS CARD screen. The NEW ACCESS CARD screen provides a process by which the service providers can distribute new access cards. Should you be issued a new card, carefully follow the instructions to determine if you will need to use the NEW ACCESS CARD screen to activate it.
