Customizing SlingPlayer

Chapter
The SlingPlayer software offers a variety of settings and preferences that you can
change to best suit your needs. This chapter shows you how to do that.

Favorites

One of the most useful customizations is adding Favorites buttons. These buttons act
like one-click shortcuts, or "presets" for channels or controls. You can dress up
Favorites buttons by having them display the icons of the channels they take you to.
SlingPlayer offers many popular channel logos, but if you can't find the one you want,
you can use your own custom picture as a channel logo.
Favorites buttons aren't limited to changing channels. You can also use them for control
functions, such as Channel Up and Channel Down.
For quicker access, you can group Favorites buttons into sets, called Favorites Bars.
For example, you can combine all the sports channels into one Favorites Bar, and the
news channels into another.
