Places to go from the CHANNEL LISTS screen

Rename

When you highlight the Rename button and press the key, a Rename List pop-up menu appears. You can choose any of the first three lists to be renamed. The All, Family, and Top 10 lists cannot be renamed. Once you have selected a list, a Rename List entry keyboard pop-up panel appears. You can

highlight the desired letter using the , , , and keys. Press to enter the letter. When you have finished, choose OK.

Auto Set

AutoSet is designed to help in the initial programming of your channel lists. When you select the Auto Set button, a pop-up menu appears showing each of the channel lists. Highlight and select a channel list to be programmed. Once selected, the Auto Set Progress pop-up status panel appears. It will take several minutes for the digital satellite receiver to scan through all channels and determine which ones you are authorized to receive. The results of this scan will be stored in the designated channel list.

Note: Auto Set may exclude some channels such as the Music Choice channels or include some pay per view channels. This does not mean that the digital satellite receiver is faulty. These channels were excluded or included due to the digital satellite receiver’s analysis process. You may edit the lists manually to correct these oversights.

Clear

You may decide to remove all channels from a particular list later on. Selecting Clear will allow you to clear all channels from a chosen list. You may then add channels back in.

Set

If you decide to include all channels in a particular list, selecting Set will allow you to specify the list. You may then remove channels from this list if you so choose.

Things to do in the CHANNEL LISTS screen

Tag Boxes

The four columns of small boxes on the right hand side of the screen are the Tag Boxes. The first three columns are the lists traditionally known as Fav.A, Fav.B , and Fav.C. The farthest right hand column is the Family list.

In the CHANNEL LISTS screen, use the , , , and keys to highlight the button that corresponds

to the channel number and list that you wish to change. Press the key to add or remove the check mark, which indicates that the channel in that row is included in the list shown at the top of the column.

To help you decide whether to include or exclude a certain channel, the title of the currently airing program for that channel will appear at the top of the screen.

Remember that when the digital satellite receiver is locked, only channels in the Family list can be viewed. This means that even though a channel appears on the Fav. A, B, C, or All Channels list, the selected channel must also be on the Family list in order to see or hear it.

For the Family List limit to be in force, the digital satellite receiver must be locked. Locking is described earlier in this chapter. When the system is locked the passcode will be needed to modify the settings of the channel lists.
