Using the System

Tip: The channel you select may display one of several program information symbols. If the program is on a channel that is not part of your subscription, the channel will be in red.

USING THE PROGRAM GUIDE

The on-screen Program Guide provides a complete listing of the available channels and programs. You can use the Program Guide to change channels, to see what programs are scheduled, and to buy pay per view programs. The Program Guide shows which Favorites List is active.

The Program Guide displays only the channels in the active Favorites List (see page 33).

All Chan - Displays all of the channels in the Program Guide.

All Sub - Displays the channels in your subscription.

Favorites Lists - You can add four Favorites Lists that show only the channels you want to see. For more information on creating Favorites Lists, see page 33.

This receiver allows you to see the program you are watching in a corner of the Program Guide. To do this, open the Main Menu. Then, select the System Setup option. Finally, select the Guide Displays option, and select the Partial Guide With Video option. If you prefer a bigger guide (with no video displayed), select the Full Guide Without Video option, and select the Save option. When you first display the inset, there may be a brief delay before a picture appears.

A red background behind a channel shows that you have not subscribed to that channel. You cannot tune to this channel.

The Program Guide shows programs that are on now and that are scheduled up to two days in advance. The guide does not show programs that have ended. You can set up the Program Guide to list channels in ascending order, with the highest channel number at the top, or in descending order, with the highest channel number at the bottom. To do this, open the Main Menu. Then, select the System Setup option. Finally, select the Channel Order option, select the Ascending or Descending option, and select the Save option.

You can set up the Program Guide to hide adult channels. See Hiding Adult Channels on page 48.
