To change modes, press the GUIDE or MENU button on the remote.

When you press the POWER button on either the front panel or remote control, the satellite receiver enters

standby mode.When you are not viewing, DO NOT TURN POWER OFF to the satellite receiver, because in standby

mode, the Master Program Guide (MPG) is refreshed continuously to ensure the MPG will be up to date.

Temporarily unlocked channels are NOT maintained when the system goes into standby mode; but themes and/or

favorites selections are maintained.

displayed.

program, be notified when a program is about to start, order pay per view programs, search through listings by the

type of program you’re looking for, and tag programs for future viewing.You can also access the menu, other guides, a

tag list, and online help from the Guide.

Menu mode lets you customize the features of your satellite receiver. Categories include General Settings,Access

Control, Preferred Language, Purchases, Installation, Upgrades and Mail.
