Using Favorites Lists
Favorites Lists allow you to display only your favorite channels in the Program Guide. You can create and change the lists, adding and removing channels as you wish. Channels saved as favorite channels must be grouped into no more than four lists.
•When you make a Favorites List active, the Program Guide displays only the channels in that list. Also, the receiver skips channels that are not on the list when you use the remote control UP or DOWN ARROW button to change channels.
•The All Chan Favorites List contains all the channels. You cannot make any changes to the All Chan list.
•The All Sub Favorites List contains all the channels in your subscription. You cannot make any changes to the All Sub list, except by changing your subscription.
•Each Favorites List has a unique color in the Program Guide. You can give each list a name. When you first get the receiver, the four lists are named List 1, List 2, List 3, and List 4. The lists are empty until you add channels to them.
