Editing channel lists
You can edit channel lists to simplify your channel surfing by removing channels that
you never watch from your channel list. Editing a channel list for a user profile has
two effects :
• When that user profile is the active profile, it sets which channels are skipped as
you change channels with the CH+ and CH- buttons on your remote control.
• When that user profile is the active profile, it determines which channels appear
and do not appear in the Program Guide.
It is possible to tune to a channel directly by pressing the 0-9 buttons on your
remote control even when that channel is removed from the channel list for
that profile.
The FAMILY profile is the master profile — channel restrictions set in the FAMILY
profile apply to the entire DIRECTV System (when the system is locked), regardless
of which user profile is active. Channels that are removed from the channel list in
the FAMILY profile are “blocked” for all profiles — that is, these channels cannot be
viewed even when tuned directly using the 0 - 9 buttons on your remote control.
Here are the steps for editing a channel list:
1 Press the MENU button on your remote control.
The Main menu appears.
2 Use the arrow buttons on your
remote control to highlight the
PROFILES menu item, then press the
button on your remote control.
The PROFILES menu appears.
