The Types pop-up menu allows you to break down your chosen theme by type. For example, if you chose Movies for the category, you can now choose a type of movie

such as Comedy, Drama, Sci-Fi, etc. After selecting one of these, the guide will be further filtered to show only those channels offering programs of the selected category and type.

Popular categories can be quickly selected from your remote control

by pressing followed by a number key. You will see labels on the remote control for filtering the guide to movies, sports, news, and

all. Press for movies, for sports, or for news and the guide will filter accordingly. Pressing the key

sequence a second time or pressing will restore the guide to show all themes.

The Types pop-up menu

Channel List

The Lists pop-up menu enables you to filter the guide to display only channels from the selected list. In addition to All Channels, you can choose one of your own defined

lists. See the “Fav. Lists” section of “The Digital Satellite Receiver’s Menu System” to learn how to set your favorite lists.

You can use the key to cycle through the lists at any time in the on-screen guide without using the drop-down menu. The Top-10list can only be selected via the drop-down menu.

The “Top 10” favorite list is automatically maintained by the digital satellite receiver. The digital satellite receiver monitors the channels viewed in your household and compiles the ten most watched channels on the list. As viewing habits change, the list will update itself accordingly.

The Lists pop-up menu

It should be noted that all channel lists are maintained privately within the digital satellite receiver for your use only.

Guide Times

The Guides pop-up menu ordinarily provides easy access to future programming information. Simply select one of the hour offsets from the current time. After a few

seconds, the selected guide will appear.

Another type of guide that may be offered is a list-type guide. These guides do not represent channels and time, but rather a list of possible options. These guide types are very rare.
