ing down the 0 button on the remote control while you start the system, until the picture has appeared. You should then open the Archive list, and move to the ProgramFiles section by pressing Fast Forward or Rewind. Open the Auto Start folder, and either delete the applications contained in it, or move them to the main ProgramFiles folder, so that they do not run when the PVR is turned on.

Although interactive services are useful, they too are, essen- tially, computer programs that are delivered to your PVR via the digital television signal, and it is possible, though extremely rare, for them to cause problems. Should you suspect that this is the case, you should try disabling interactive services via the System Setting menu.

7.1.4 Incorrect channel numbers and duplicate channels

If you can receive a signal from more than one TV transmit- ter, your PVR may store duplicate versions of some channels. In some cases, duplicates will appear on numbers from 1000 upwards, while other users may have two channels with the same number.

If you have two channels with the same number, and one of them has a very weak signal, you should delete the one with the weaker signal; press the OK/List button to display the channel list, highlight the channel you want to remove, and press Red to display a menu, from which you can select the Delete option.

You can view information about the strength and quality of a signal by changing to a channel, then pressing Menu and selecting Installation, then Service Search. Details of the signal on the current channel will be displayed at the bottom right of the screen.

Users with many duplicate channels, or incorrectly numbered channels, should perform a factory reset of their PVR, and then tune in channels manually, instead of automatically.
