Channel Lists
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: Once the digital satellite receiver is locked, only existing
Family list channels will be accessible. If the Family list has not
had channels added to it, no channels can be viewed without first
unlocking the digital satellite receiver. To avoid this
inconvenience, set up the Family list before locking the digital

satellite receiver.
Places to go from the CHANNEL LISTS screen
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, Family, and Top 10 lists cannot be
renamed. Once you have selected a list, a Rename List entry keyboard pop-up panel appears. You can
highlight the desired letter using the , , , and
keys. Press
to enter the letter. When you
have finished, choose OK.
Auto Set
AutoSet is designed to help in the initial programming of your channel lists. When you select the Auto
Set button, a pop-up menu appears showing each of the channel lists. Highlight and select a channel
list to be programmed. Once selected, the Auto Set Progress pop-up status panel appears. It will take
several minutes for the digital satellite 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: Auto Set may exclude some channels such as the Music Choice channels or include some
pay per view channels. This does not mean that the digital satellite receiver is faulty. These
channels were excluded or included due to the digital satellite receiver's analysis process. You
may edit the lists manually to correct these oversights.
Clear
You may decide to remove all channels from a particular list later on. Selecting Clear will allow you to
clear all channels from a chosen list. You may then add channels back in.
Set
If you decide to include all channels in a particular list, selecting Set will allow you to specify the list.
You may then remove channels from this list if you so choose.
Things to do in the CHANNEL LISTS screen

columns are the lists traditionally known as Fav.A, Fav.B, and Fav.C. The farthest right hand column
