What are channel lists for? Features such as Search by Title and Search Using WishLists only look at programs available on channels selected in the Channels You Receive list. Your recorder also uses lists of channels to decide which channels the List Guide displays and which channels to search in Browse by Channel.

There are two selections available in Customize Channels:

Channels You Receive. The Channels You Receive list starts with all DIRECTV® channels. It can be customized to include only channels you actually subscribe to and to reflect your viewing preferences (for example: if you never watch a channel and don’t plan to set up any recordings on it, or let the DVR service search for programs on it, you can de-select it here).

Favorites. The Favorites list is for channels you watch frequently. Include only a few channels in this list, so that you can quickly look at what’s coming up on them.

To set up a custom channel list:

1.Select the Channels You Receive or Favorite Channels list. A check mark appears to the left of channels that are part of the selected list.

2.To remove or add a channel, highlight it and press SELECT. (You can speed through the list with the CHAN UP/DOWN. To go directly to a specific channel, press the number buttons, then press ENTER/LAST.)
