What are Favorites Lists?

WHAT ARE FAVORITES LISTS?Favorites Lists are lists of your favorite channels. You can create and change the lists yourself, adding and removing channels as you wish. Your favorite channels can be grouped in as many as to four lists for TV1 and four lists for TV2 (in Dual Mode).

• When using a Favorites List, the Program Guide and Browse Banner display only the channels in that Favorites List. Also, when you use the remote control UP or DOWN ARROW to change channels, the receiver skips channels that are not on the list. Unlisted channels are still accessible by entering the channel number directly.

• The All Chan list contains all the channels, including channels not in your current subscription. You cannot make any changes to the All Chan list.

• The All Sub list contains all the channels in your subscription. You cannot make any changes to the All Sub list, except by changing your subscription.

• The All HD list contains all of the HD channels in your subscription.

• Each Favorites List has a unique color in the Program Guide. You can give each list a name. When you first get the receiver, the four lists are named List 1, List 2, List 3, and List 4. The lists are empty until you add channels to them.

• When you put the receiver in Single Mode, the Favorites Lists for only TV1 are available. However, when you go back to Dual Mode, the Favorites Lists for TV2 are available again.

• If you choose a program using Themes or by entering a channel number using the remote control, the receiver tunes to the channel for that program whether or not that channel is on the active Favorites List.

• You can include over-the-air channels in your Favorites Lists if an over-the-air antenna is connected to the receiver. See page 110 for instructions on connecting an over-the-air antenna.

Tips

TIPS

• Two lists cannot have the same name. For example, on TV1, you cannot have two lists named “Dad’s List.” However, TV1 and TV2 can have lists with the same names.

• While in the program guide, press GUIDE to switch Favorites Lists functions only if you have added channels to the Favorites List. If you have not created a Favorites List, pressing GUIDE switches the receiver between the All Chan, All Sub, and All HD Lists.

• When you put the receiver in Single Mode, the Favorites Lists for TV2 are not available. However, when you go back to Dual Mode, the Favorites Lists for TV2 are available again.

• Locked and hidden channels do not display in Favorites Lists.

QUESTIONS• Why are channels missing from the Program Guide?

– You might have a Favorites List that does not contain those channels. Press GUIDE until the All Chan or All Sub list displays.

– You might have channels locked or hidden.

• Why are TV2’s Favorites Lists missing? When the receiver is in Single Mode, TV2’s Favorites Lists are not available.
