Normal Viewing Mode
Normal Viewing Mode is defined as only the video being displayed and possibly
closed captioning data. When HDTV Digital Receiver is first powered on, it will be in
the Normal Viewing mode.
Note: The first time the HDTV Digital Receiver is powered On, all channels except those
exceeding the MPAA or TV rating limits and channels not authorized by the DIRECTV
are shown.
Once the user has created a favorite channel list, the HDTV Digital Receiver will
channel surf only to channels that are part of the favorite channel list. The user may
tune to a channel that is not a member of the favorite channel list by entering in a
channel number, explained in the Direct Tuning Method section. The user must add
this channel using the menu system.
