Sorting the Guides
Sorting the guide is a way of organizing the information to show only the types
of programs that interest you. There are several on-screen icons that sort the
guide in different ways. You can list programs by sports or movie themes, for
example. You can customize the themes to meet your tastes, and each profile
can have its own default program sorting.
To get to the sorting icons, use the down arrow button to move the highlight to
the icons at the bottom of the screen. Then, use the left and right arrow buttons
to highlight the desired icon.
Viewing Suggestions
When you select the Viewing Suggestions icon, a control panel with a list of
recommended program events is displayed. The recommendations are based
on your previous viewing habits in terms of the amount of time spent watching
programs that match a topic and theme category. The suggestions are ordered
by best match.
Viewing suggestions are created for each active user profile. The suggestions
being shown are always for the current user profile.
You can view and change your suggestions, or turn the learning feature off
altogether from the Viewing Suggestions control panel.
To Access the Viewing Suggestions Menu:
1. Press the remote control's MENU button to display the Main menu.
2. Press 1 to select Program Guides.
3. Press the 4 button to choose Suggestions.
4. Access desired viewing suggestions using the remote control's arrow and
OK buttons to select.
Note: You can also access this menu by selecting the Viewing Suggestions
icon in the Channel Banner or at the bottom of the
on-screen guides.
Customizing Viewing Suggestions
You can edit the themes that will appear in the Viewing Suggestions menu by
applying different "weights" to the topics. Increasing a topic's weight increases
the chance that programs with such themes will appear in the Viewing
Suggestions menu. Decreasing a theme's weight will lessen the chance that such
themes will appear.
To Change the Weight of Themes and/or Topics:
1. Follow steps 1-3 above to display the Viewing Suggestions menu.
2. Press the 2 button to select Edit Topics.
3. Select the numbered Topic to edit, then use the remote control's arrow and
OK buttons to select and adjust weight percentages.
