Basic Channel Changing
There are many ways to “surf” (move from channel to channel) through the available
programming. You already know two ways to change channels. The first of these is by using the
and keys on the remote control. Each key press takes you to the next available channel
in the direction that you selected.
The second way is to enter the Channel Number of the desired channel. For example, to go to the
DIRECT TICKET movie preview channel, press on the remote control.
Note: if the channel does not change right away, press the key on the
remote control to instruct the HD receiver that you have finished entering
channel number digits.
You can enter the number for any channel that you wish.
To select a terrestrial ATSC (digital) channel, enter the main channel number followed by the
hyphen key, then the sub-channel number, and then press the key on the remote
control.
Channel Banner
Every time you select a channel while you are watching
TV, a Channel Banner, such as that shown to the right,
will be displayed at the top of the screen. You can also
display the banner by pressing the key on the
remote control or on the front panel of the receiver. This
banner also displays channel-related symbols where
applicable. These symbols are shown below.
The following icons may be displayed on the channel
