The on-screen guide maintains ten different channel lists, each of which shows you only those channels

and programs that belong to that channel list. The meaning and generation of each channel list is

described below

below in the Guide menu (see section 7-1).

ALL

As the default guide type when pressing the GUIDE button, the ALL category shows program listings for

all channels to which you may subscribe. The guide shows DIRECTV® channels that your dish antenna can

receive, and over-the-air channels that you have selected to add into the channel list during the initial

setup procedure. Program details for non-satellite channels may not be available depending on the satel-

lite service provider.

Shows the program listings that belong to the CUSTOM channel list. You can customize the CUSTOM

channel list by hiding channels from the All Channel List that you do not wish to view (see section 8-8).

SURF

Shows program listings only for those channels in the SURF channel list. You can generate a SURF chan- nel list, which is a short list of channels you tune to most frequently, by setting a favorite icon to the chan- nels from the menu sequence MENU SETUP Surf List/Ch. Edit (see section 8-8).

CATEGORY (MOVIES/SPORTS/SPECIALS/SERIES/NEWS)

Lists only Movies/Sports/Specials/Series/News programs from channels in the All channel list. The DIRECTV® HD Receiver generates the list automatically based on the category information for programs appearing within the next few hours in the Advanced Program Guide™.

MY CATEGORY 1/ MY CATEGORY 2

Shows only user-defined programs. You can edit MY CATEGORY 1, MY CATEGORY 2 list from the menu sequence Guide My Category EDIT (see section 7-8).
