The normal, or default, setting for the
channels you can view in the Guide is
All Channels, or all available channels
on DIRECTV service — whether or not
you receive them in your programming
package. You may choose to use your
current favorites list by selecting
Current Item in the left menu of the
favorites screen. Or you may choose
another favorite item in the Quick
Menu.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have all the channels you like best, right-at-hand? Or a grouping of
family channels just for the kids?
Favorites allows you to set up special, customized List of Channels that shows only those
channels you choose both in the Guide and while channel surfing Live TV.
1) Press MENU to get to the Quick Menu.
2) Select Settings, then Favorites.
3) SELECT a custom list on the left side of the screen.
4 Select the box next to the channel you want on a custom list (press SELECT again to
delete it).
4 Use Add All or Remove All to save time when choosing a lot of channels.
4 Scroll through the channels, or key them in directly using NUMBERS on the remote to
access what you’re looking for. Once you’ve decided on the channels for your list, select
the Name Tab.
4) To name your custom list, arrow over to the Name List tab and press SELECT
4 Use the onscreen keypad to name your custom list — “Kids” or “Joe” or whatever you like.
4 When you are done, go to Update Name and press SELECT.
When you’re using a Favorites list, the Guide will only display those channels you’ve
chosen — and you’ll also only see those channels when you use CHAN UP/DOWN on
your remote.
Keep in mind, no matter what Favorites list you’re currently using, you can still always access
any channel you receive by keying in its channel number on your remote. You can also edit
or delete a list at any time.
