Using favorite
channel lists
Channel Lists are provided to help you organize the hundreds of available
channels into groupings suitable for your household. Each list can contain as
many or as few channels as you wish. You can customize these groups several
ways. For example, Fav. A could be Dad’s favorite channels, Fav. B could be
Mom’s favorites, Fav. C could be the kids’ channels, and Family could be all
channels that Mom and Dad have deemed appropriate for the entire family.
Creating a channel list
1. Press the remote control MENU button.
2. Select the
Guide Options or Lock & Limits from the MAIN MENU.
3. Use the paddle to highlight the
Fav Setup tab.
4. Press
SELECT to open the FAVORITE LIST SETUP pane shown below.
The four columns of small boxes on the right hand side of the pane are the Tag
Boxes. The first three columns are the Fav.A, Fav.B, and Fav.C. channel lists.
The farthest right hand column is the Family list.
Note: If the Family list has not had channels added to it, no channels can be
viewed without first unlocking the receiver. To avoid this inconvenience, create
the Family list before locking the receiver. See Chapter 7 – Using access
controls, on page 37 for additional details about controlling system access.
5. Use the paddle to highlight the tag box that corresponds to the channel
number and list that you wish to create or change.
6. Press
SELECT to add or remove the check mark, which indicates that the
channel in that row is included in the list shown at the top of the column.
