Chapter 5: User profiles
Editing channel lists
You can edit channel lists to simplify your channel surfing by removing channels that you never watch from your channel list. Editing a channel list for a user profile has two effects :
•When that user profile is the active profile, it sets which channels are skipped as you change channels with the CH+ and CH- buttons on your remote control.
•When that user profile is the active profile, it determines which channels appear and do not appear in the Program Guide.
It is possible to tune to a channel directly by pressing the
The FAMILY profile is the master profile — channel restrictions set in the FAMILY profile apply to the entire DIRECTV System (when the system is locked), regardless of which user profile is active. Channels that are removed from the channel list in the FAMILY profile are “blocked” for all profiles — that is, these channels cannot be viewed even when tuned directly using the 0 - 9 buttons on your remote control.
Here are the steps for editing a channel list:
1Press the MENU button on your remote control. The Main menu appears.
2Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the PROFILES menu item, then press the 
button on your remote control.
