YOUR RECEIVER’S MENU SYSTEM

Using the same procedure as setting the start time, set the program Duration as hours and minutes. As before, use to advance to the Frequency column.

The Frequency column is very versatile. Using the and keys, you can specify when, or how often, the event occurs. Your choices are: Today, Tomorrow, Every Mon, Every Tue, Every Wed, Every Thu, Every Fri, Every Sat, Every Sun, Everyday, Mon-Fri, or / to specify an exact date. If you are specifying a date, enter the numbers using the remote control in month/day format. The year will be set automatically. Events can be scheduled up to eleven months in advance. Once you have set the Frequency, advance using the key.

If the event appears as you would like it, choose OK, otherwise choose Cancel to abort the edits made to this event.

Check Mail

The CHECK MAIL feature of your digital satellite receiver enables service providers to notify you about important information, upcoming special events, offers, and other promotional programming.

When new messages are received, a “new mail” icon appears at the top of all menu screens. This indicator will remain on the menus until you have read the new message.

When you highlight the Check Mail button, the advisory message at the bottom of the screen indicates if there are any messages to read.

If there are, you can press to access the CHECK MAIL screen.
