Using favorite
channel lists

Channel Lists are provided to help you organize the hundreds of available
channels into groupings suitable for your household. Each list can contain as
many or as few channels as you wish. You can customize these groups several
ways. For example, Fav. A could be Dad’s favorite channels, Fav. B could be
Mom’s favorites, Fav. C could be the kids’ channels, and Family could be all
channels that Mom and Dad have deemed appropriate for the entire family.

Creating a channel list

1. Press the remote control

button.

2. Select the

Guide Options

from the

MAIN MENU

3. Use the navigation buttons to highlight the

Fav Setup

tab.

4. Press

SELECT

to open the

FAVORITE LIST SETUP

pane shown below.

The four columns of small boxes on the right hand side of the pane are the Tag
Boxes. The first three columns are the Fav.A, Fav.B, and Fav.C. channel lists.
The farthest right hand column is the Family list.

Note:

If the receiver is locked, only existing Family list channels are

accessible. If the Family list has not had channels added to it, no channels can
be viewed without first unlocking the receiver. To avoid this inconvenience,
create the Family list before locking the receiver. See Chapter 7 – Using access
controls, on page 37 for additional details about controlling system access.

5. Use the navigation buttons to highlight the tag box that corresponds to the

channel number and list that you wish to create or change.

6. Press

SELECT

to add or remove the check mark, which indicates that the

channel in that row is included in the list shown at the top of the column.
