TIP: Accessing Viewing Suggestions

You can select Viewing Suggestions by selecting Suggestions in the Main menu, or by pressing the icon displayed in the channel banner or on-screen guides.

Sorting the Guides

Sorting the guide is a way of organizing the information to show only the types of programs that interest you. There are several on-screen icons that sort the guide in different ways. You can list programs by sports or movie themes, for example. You can customize the themes to meet your tastes, and each profile can have its own default program sorting.

To get to the sorting icons, use the down arrow button to move the highlight to the icons at the bottom of the screen. Then, use the left and right arrow buttons to highlight the desired icon.

Viewing Suggestions

When you select the Viewing Suggestions icon, a control panel with a list of recommended program events is displayed. The recommendations are based on your previous viewing habits in terms of the amount of time spent watching programs that match a topic and theme category. The suggestions are ordered by best match.

Viewing suggestions are created for each active user profile. The suggestions being shown are always for the current user profile.

You can view and change your suggestions, or turn the learning feature off altogether from the Viewing Suggestions control panel.
