THE ON-SCREEN GUIDES
PAGE 6-7
The Types pop-up menu enables you to further refine your desired program list by different types of
the previously chosen theme. For example, if you chose Movies for
the category, you can now choose a type of movie such as Comedy,
Drama, Sci-Fi, etc. After selecting one of these, the guide will be
further filtered to feature only those channels that will be offering
programs of the selected category and type.
Popular categories can be quickly selected from your remote control.
You will see labels on the remote control for filtering the guide to
movies, sports, news, and all. Pressing followed by one of the
associated keys ( , , , or ) will
filter the guide accordingly. Pressing the key sequence a second time
or pressing will restore the guide to show all themes.
Channel List
The Lists pop-up menu enables you to filter the guide to display only channels from the selected list. In
addition to All Channels, you can choose one of your own defined
lists. See the “Fav. Lists” section of, “The Receiver’s Menu System”
to learn how to set your favorite lists.
You can use the key to cycle through the lists at any time on
the on-screen guide without using the drop-down menu.
The “Top 10” favorite list is a list that is automatically maintained
by your digital satellite receiver. The receiver monitors the channels
that are viewed in your household. The ten most watched channels
are offered in this list. As other channels that are not on the list are
watched more than those on the list, the list will update itself
accordingly.
It should be noted that all channel lists are maintained privately
within the digital satellite receiver for your use only.
Guide Times
For the most part, the Guides drop-down menu provides easy access to future time periods in the
guide. Simply select one of the hour offsets from the current time.
After a few seconds, the selected guide will appear.
Another type of guide that could be offered is a list-type guide.
These list-type guides do not represent channels and time, but rather
a list of possible options. These guide types are very rare.
