Adding and clearing channels in the channel history

Adding channels to the channel history

The Channel Browser automatically creates a history of the last 32 channels that were tuned in the current input (ANT 1, ANT 2, and Cable Box inputs only). A separate history will be stored for each of these inputs.

If you change the input you are viewing:

a)you will begin a channel history for that input if one did not exist; or

b)you will return to the existing channel history for that input if one had already been started.

The Channel Browser will store the following channels:

•All channels that are tuned using the numeric buttons on the remote control.

•All channels that are tuned for at least 7 seconds using the CH yz buttons or the FAV CH yz buttons on the remote control.

Note:

¥The Channel Browser banner will not appear when the POP double window is open; however, channels tuned while the POP double window is open will be added to the Channel Browser history for the current input.

¥The Channel Browser banner will not appear in the FAV SCAN (favorite scan) multi-window. Channels that appear in the FAV SCAN multi-window will not be added to the Channel Browser history; however, the channel last selected from the multi-window will be added to the channel history.

Clearing channels from the channel history

•Turning off the TV will clear all three channel histories (ANT 1, ANT 2, and Cable Box).

•Removing the CableCARD™ will clear the channel history for the ANT 1 input.

•Reconfiguring the ANT 1, ANT 2, or Cable Box input will clear the channel history for the newly configured input(s).

Note: See page 41 for details on configuring the antenna inputs.
