The DIRECTV Channel Banner
In addition to viewing the program description, the user can add or remove the channel from the favorite channel list. This is accomplished by navigating left or right and pressing the ACTION key.
Channel Banner: Favorite Channel List
The favorite channel list is a customized list that allows you to create your own unique channel list. The favorite channel list is active when you select the “FAV CH” mode in the guide screen. By default, the “ALL CH” mode is selected. Also, by default, both the “ALL” mode and “FAV” modes default to all the channels selected in their lists.
When the description of the channel banner is expanded, the user now has the opportunity to add or remove a channel from the favorite list. By default,
Delete from FAV button is highlighted when the Channel Banner is expanded. Once a channel is removed from the favorite list, the user is required to numerically enter in the channel number to view that channel, at which time the user can add the channel back into the favorite channel list.
The following figure depicts the Channel Banner, when the Description area is highlighted.
