Setting Up a List of Custom Stations

To have the DSS receiver automatically skip all stations from the Master Guide that you are not authorized to receive, select AUTO. See “Using the AUTO Skip Feature” on page 60 for details.

To quickly skip or “unskip” stations, select ALL (to skip all) or NONE (to skip none).

Selecting CANCEL returns you to the previous screen, without saving your selections.

If there are stations listed in the Master Guide that you don’t subscribe to or watch often, you can use the Set Custom Stations feature to specify which stations from the Master Guide you want to skip. After you’ve set skipped stations, they will not appear in the:

YCustom Guide (a program guide available in the Main Menu)

YStation Index

YStations that appear when you’re using the CH+/CH- buttons to change channels

Note

Skipped stations will continue to be available in the Master Guide and all other program guides.

To define a list of custom stations:

1 Select SET CUSTOM STATIONS from the Custom Setup Menu.

2 Select stations that you want to skip.

A station that appears with a checkmark (') beside it will be skipped. For example, in the following screen, stations 203, 208, and 213 are set to be skipped.

To set a station so that it is not skipped, just select it again. The checkmark (') disappears.
