Channel List

This is the list of channels provided by your TV programming source (basic cable, digital cable (CableCARDTM), or antenna). The DVR uses this list to determine which channels to display in the guide and which channels are available for recording programs. Features such as Search by Title, and WishList® searches look for programs only on channels selected on this channel list.

Labels beside each channel number help you identify its source.

•cbl indicates a cable channel.

•ant indicates an antenna channel.

Customizing Your Channel List

•Channels You Receive. The Channel List screen displays the complete list of channels available in the channel lineup you selected during Guided Setup. You may not actually receive or subscribe to some of these channels, or you may not wish to display them in the guide, or search for programs on them.

Create a customized list of channels by pressing SELECT on each channel you want. A square yellow check mark appears next to each channel you select. Press SELECT again to remove the check mark. The list of selected channels is your Channels You Receive list.

•Favorite Channels. Use Favorite Channels for channels you watch frequently. Include only a few channels in this list, so that you can quickly look at what’s coming up on them using the guide. See “Customizing the Guide” on page 32.

To indicate your Favorite Channels, highlight each and press THUMBS UP.
