9Operation

Throughout this manual, you will notice that the everyday operation of your satellite receiver is based on a series of user friendly onscreen displays and menus.These displays will help you get the most from your satellite receiver, guiding you through initial installation, channel selection, timer settings and many other functions.

Most functions can be carried out using the buttons on the front of your satellite receiver or the remote, however we suggest that you will find it easier to use your remote in most instances.
