PROGRAM GUIDE (Small Cell)

The PROGRAM GUIDE (Small Cell) screen shown below displays 1-½ hours of programming
information. Up to 12 lines of channel information can be seen on the screen at one time. This
number of lines is reduced to 9 if the program description option is selected.

The term “Small Cell” means that there is only one line of text associated with each program
title. While this can cause the title to be cut short, or abbreviated, it also permits information
about more channels to be seen on the screen at one time.

A time line spanning the width of the guide indicates the show times of the programs being
displayed. The list of blocks running down the left-hand side are the channel tags. Depending on
the Guide Sort option (Name or Number) specified in the GUIDE pop-up menu, the tags may
display the channel numbers or call signs. This will dictate whether the channels are listed by
channel number or alphabetically by call sign.

To navigate the guide, use the , , , and keys on the remote control. You can continue to
press the or keys on the remote control to scroll more program information on the screen.

Pressing the

key on the remote control while highlighting any title will display the

INFORMATION screen.

Use the

and

keys on the remote control to scroll through the guide entries one page at a

time.

When the highlight is in the grid, use the or keys on the remote control to move the highlight
left or right. If you move the highlight on to the Channel Tags in the leftmost column, they will
reverse themselves: they will turn from Channel Numbers to Call Signs or from Call Signs to
Channel Numbers.

Move the highlight to the right, using the keys on the remote control, to move the grid area to
reveal later time periods. Sometimes after scrolling a few hours ahead, there may be a brief delay
while more information is received from the satellite.
