Interests and Favorites

You have the choice to scan every channel when you "channel surf." But to help
you locate channels and shows of specific interest to you, the receiver has an
Interests menu that helps you to focus your channel surfing.

By using the Interests
menu, you can quickly
locate programs according
to a particular theme or surf
through four lists of
favorite channels.

How to Display and Use
the Interests Menu

Press the INTERESTS key
on the remote control. The
Interests menu appears.

To select an interest (for example, All Programs, Favorites A, B, C, D or
Network Series, News/Education, Movies, Sports, Pay Per View, or Music/
Radio), highlight one of these options and press the ENTER key. The Guide
will appear and display channels or programs that pertain to the interest you
selected. Remember that once you have selected one of the options (or
interests) from the Interests menu:

A. The information you see in the Guide will be limited to programming that
matches the interest you selected. If there is no programming that matches the
interest, a message will appear notifying you of this.

B. You will notice that while you are watching a program or channel, the left
side of the header will display the interest you selected. If there is no
programming matching the selected interest, a message will appear notifying
you of this.

Press the INTERESTS key again to display the Interests menu and change
your selection.

1 All Programs. Each time you turn on the receiver, it automatically returns to
the All Programs setting. When this option is selected, you will be able to scan for
all programs while channel surfing or when you are using the Guide.

2 Favorites A, B, C, D. If you select Favorites A, B, C or D, you will be able to
limit your channel surfing and the Guide information listings to channels that are
listed in the Favorites A, B, C or D lists. If you have not yet made a list of favorite
channels, a message will instruct you to do so.
