What are Favorites Lists?

WHAT ARE FAVORITES LISTS?

Favorites Lists are custom lists of your favorite channels. You can create and change the lists, adding and removing channels as you wish. Your favorite channels can be grouped into up to four lists.

When using a Favorites List, the Program Guide and Browse Banner display only the channels in that Favorites List. When you use the remote control UP or DOWN ARROW to change channels, the receiver skips channels that are not on the list.

The All Chan list contains all the channels, including channels not in your current subscription. You cannot make any changes to the All Chan list.

The All Sub list contains all the channels in your subscription. You cannot make any changes to the All Sub list, except by changing your subscription.

The All HD list contains all of the HD channels in your subscription, as well as over- the-air digital channels if your receiver is connected to an over-the-air antenna.

Each Favorites List has a unique color in the Program Guide. You can also give each list a name. The four lists are named List 1, List 2, List 3, and List 4, until you change the name. The lists are empty until you add channels to them.

If you choose a program using Themes or by entering a channel number using the remote controls, the receiver tunes to the channel for that program whether or not that channel is on the active Favorites List.

You can include over-the-air channels in your Favorites Lists if an over-the-air antenna is connected to the receiver. See page 93 for instructions on connecting an over-the- air antenna.

CREATING OR CHANGING FAVORITES LISTS

You can create, add channels to, and remove channels from a Favorites List. When you use your Favorites List only those channels in your list are shown in the Program Guide and Browse Banner.
