access card except when a new card has been issued to replace the original.

language translation is an example.

satellite signal. Similar in function to that of TV/VCR buttons on some VCRs and remote controls.
Attractions
Previews of special programs broadcast by your program provider.

longitude), the display screen provides the number corresponding to an azimuth setting for your location.
DSS ® Receiver

longitude), the display screen provides the number corresponding to the elevation setting for your location.
Limits
There are three kinds of limits. The Ratings Limit allows you to control program viewing of rated programs by
ratings level. The Spending Limit controls spending on a cost-per-program basis. The Parent Approved channel
list allows you to select which channels can be viewed when the system is locked.
Locks
The means of restricting access to certain features of the DSS ® system. The lock is controlled by a 4-digit
password. The closed or open lock icon in the channel marker indicates whether your system is locked or
unlocked.

the on-screen menu system, and can store up to ten messages of forty characters each.
