The Guide Toolbar
The Detail and Grid Guides have a special toolbar you can access by pressing FETCH in those guides. This toolbar offers several ways of organizing and
searching through program guide information so that you can find the programs you want more quickly and easily, even if you don’t know their
names.
Viewing Suggestions
Displays the Suggestion Guide, which shows viewing suggestions for the active user profile
based on the kinds of satellite programs that profile has watched in the past.
You can view and change your suggestions, or change the settings for the Viewing Suggestions
feature from the Viewing Suggestions control panel. See The Suggestion Guide on page 20 for
more information.
Category Search
Displays the Category Guide, which lets you search the guide for programs matching a particular
category or subsequent subcategory. See The Category Guide on the previous page for more

Channel Sort

guide is sorted alphabetically, the 1-100 icon is displayed (select the icon to change the display
to numeric). When the guide is sorted numerically, an A-Z icon is displayed (select it to display
the guide alphabetically).
Channel Display
In the Grid Guide, you can choose to display each channel by its channel number or its call
letters. When the Grid Guide is displaying call letters, the 1-2-3 icon is displayed (select the icon
to change the display to channel numbers). When the Grid Guide is displaying channel numbers,
the A-B-C icon is displayed (select it to display call letters).
In the Detail Guide, both the channel numbers and the call letters are always displayed. The
Channel Display button switches which one is shown first.
