Channel Lists
Highlighting the Chan. Lists button on the SETUP
screen and pressing the key on the remote
control displays the CHANNEL LISTS screen
shown.
Channel Lists are provided to help you organize the
hundreds of available channels into groupings that
suit the needs of your household. Each list can
contain as many or as few channels as you would
like. You can customize these groupings in a variety
of 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. Each of the lists, with
the exception of Family, can be renamed.
Note: Remember that when the HD receiver is locked, only channels selected
in the Family list can be viewed. This means that even though a channel
appears on the Fav. A, Fav. B, Fav. C, or All Channels list, the selected
channel must also be on the Family list in order to view it.
Note: For the Family list limit to be in force, the HD receiver must be locked.
On the left of the CHANNEL LISTS screen are buttons for Done, Video, AutoSet, Rename,
Clear, and Set, which are explained below:
Done
Highlighting the Done button on the screen and pressing the key on the remote control
causes an exit from the CHANNEL LISTS screen and a return to the SETUP screen.
Video
Highlighting the Video button on the screen and pressing the key on the remote control
will return you to the last program you were viewing.
AutoSet
AutoSet is designed to help in the initial programming of your channel lists. When you select the
AutoSet button, a pop-up menu appears showing each of the channel lists. Highlight and select a
channel list to be programmed. Once selected, the AutoSet Progress pop-up status panel appears.
It will take several minutes for the HD receiver to scan through all channels and determine which
ones you are authorized to receive. The results of this scan will be stored in the designated
channel list.
Note: The AutoSet Channel Scanning Process can inadvertently exclude some
channels (such as the MUSIC CHOICE channels) or include some Pay Per
View channels. You can manually edit your channel lists after AutoSet is done
(see “Tag Boxes” below).
Rename
When you highlight the Rename button and press the key, a Rename List pop-up menu
appears. You can choose any of the first three lists to be renamed. The All and Family lists cannot
