The Channel List screen displays the list of channels in the receiver's memory, with a quarter- screen image window showing the selected channel, and can be used to change channels for viewing, delete channels from the memory, edit the name of the channel as it appears in the list and on-screen, lock a channel against viewing by younger members of the family, and set up favourite channels.

Channel List functions are carried out on one channel at a time. The channel to be affected is first highlighted in the list using the [UP] or [DOWN] keys.

SELECT

This function selects a channel for viewing and is an alternative to using the [P+] and [P-] keys, channel number or EPG. Highlight the channel to be viewed, highlight the OK button at the base of the screen using the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] keys and press [OK]. The highlighted channel now appears in the image window and you can leave the Channel List to view the channel by pressing [MENU].

DELETE

The initial installation of the DVB - T3 receiver can produce duplicate entries in the channel list from transmitters operating at different frequencies in adjacent areas, and you may wish to delete these duplicate entries from the list. In addition, other channels which you do not want in the list.

Highlight the channel to be deleted, highlight the DELETE button at the base of the screen using the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] keys, and press [OK]. The highlighted channel is deleted from the list.

You can now perform further editing on the channel list, or return to normal broadcast viewing by pressing the [MENU] key.

EDIT NAME

The channel names which appear in the channel list and the information banner are assigned by the broadcasters and some longer names are abbreviated to become unrecognisable. You can edit the names to suit your preferences with the Edit Name function.

Highlight the channel to be renamed, highlight the EDIT NAME button at the base of the screen using the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] keys, and press [OK]. The highlighted channel name appears on the right of the screen with the first character highlighted by a cursor. Any of the 15 characters that make up a channel name can be highlighted using the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] keys and the highlighted character changed by pressing the [UP] or [DOWN] keys to cycle through the alphabet, numbers and other characters available.

When the required changes have been made, pressing [OK] stores the new name and returns to the Channel List screen. Alternatively, pressing [MENU] will abandon the name change and return to the previous name.

You can now perform further editing on the channel list, or return to normal broadcast viewing by pressing the [MENU] key.Using the other two functions of the Channel List menu screen - LOCK and FAVOURITES - is dealt with in the next sections.

Hint

You can also enter a channel name using the number keys on the remote control. Each key represents several letters and pressing a key several times will enter each letter (in both capitals and lower case), and the number, in turn, in the character position marked by the cursor. The zero key enters all the punctuation marks available and a blank space. With practise, this is a very quick means of entering the required letters into the channel name.

EDIT NUMBER

In “Edit PR List” reordering can be done by moving the channels to new positions. In order to do that “Edit Number” button is highlighted by using [LEFT] or [RIGHT] keys keys. Press OK button to activate this menu. A small box appears on the screen. By means of “Number buttons” on the remote control attain the new channel number and press OK. The new channel number moves automatically to its new position.

CHANNEL AND MENU PROTECTION

CHANNEL LOCK

Some channels broadcast material which you do not want younger members of the family to watch. Any channel can be 'locked' so that it cannot be selected for viewing without first a four-digit PIN code being entered. In this way any channel not suitable for younger viewers can be protected.

The channel lock is applied with the Channel List menu. Press the [MENU] key on the remote control handset to display the Main Menu and then, using the [UP] or [DOWN] keys on the remote control, choose the Edit PR list and press the [OK] key.

Highlight the channel to be locked using the [UP] or [DOWN] keys. Now select the LOCK button at the base of the screen with the [LEFT] or [RIGHT] keys and press [OK].

A window requesting the PIN code is displayed and the four-digit code should be entered using the number keys on the remote control, followed by the [OK] key. A lock icon is then displayed alongside the channel name in the channel list.
