Channel Lists

About Channel Lists
After a channel installation, all channels appear in the
channel list. Channels are shown with their name and
logo if the TV is connected to the Internet and this
information is available.
For each type of tuner - Antenna/Cable (DVB-T/C) or
Satellite (DVB-S) - there is a channel list with all
installed channels. You can filter this list to only show
TV or only Radio channels. Or when you have several
satellites installed, you can filter the channels per
satellite.
For each type of tuner - Antenna/Cable (DVB-T/C) or
Satellite (DVB-S) - you can create 4 different lists of
favourite channels for easy channel zapping. You can
name each of these favourite lists individually. Only in
these favourite lists you can reorder channels.
With a channel list selected, you only tune to the
channels in that list when using
the   or   keys.
Channel icons
After an Automatic Channel Update of the channel
list, newly found channels are marked with a  (star).
If you lock a channel, it will be marked with a 
(lock).
The 3 most popular channels being watched by
others at this moment are marked with a 1, 2 or 3.
Radio stations
If digital broadcasting is available, digital radio station
are installed during installation. Switch to a radio
channel just like you switch to a TV channel. A Cable
(DVB-C) channel installation usually places radio
stations from channel number 1001 onwards
