Channel Lists

Channel Lists are provided to help you organize the hundreds of available channels into groupings that suit the needs of your household. Each list can contain as many or as few channels as you would like. You can customize these groupings in a variety of ways. For example, Fav. A could be Dad’s favorite channels, Fav. B could be Mom’s favorites, Fav. C could be the kids’ channels, and Family could be all channels that Mom and Dad have deemed appropriate for the entire family. Each of the lists, with the exception of Family, can be renamed.

 

NOTE: Once the digital satellite receiver is locked, only existing

 

Family list channels will be accessible. If the Family list has not

 

had channels added to it, no channels can be viewed without first

 

unlocking the digital satellite receiver. To avoid this
