displays only the channels included in your current DISH package. And the My HD
Channels Favorites List displays only the high-definition channels in your package.
If you set up another list, then the Program Guide displays only the channels that you
included on that list. See page 36 for more information on using Favorites Lists.
The Program Guide displays information for programs on now and those coming on
within the next nine days. The guide does not include programs that have ended.
While accessing the on-screen Program Banner (top) and Browse Banner, you can:
Press PAGE UP/PAGE DOWN to move a page of program data at a time, allowing
you to view guide information about programs on other channels.
Enter the number of hours you want to skip, and then press the RIGHT/LEFT ARROW
to move forward/back in the schedule. You cannot move back to programs that ended.
Press FWD/BACK to move forward or back a day at a time, allowing you to view guide
information about future programs on the current channel.
Press SKIP FWD/SKIP BACK to move forward or back three hours at a time, allowing
you to view guide information about future programs on the current channel.
While browsing Program Guide information, you can move the highlight to a program and:
Press the INFO button to see a pop-up screen of more detailed program information.
Press the RECORD button to set an event timer for a program in the future.
Note: You must be able to receive satellite programming from either the 119°W or 72.7°
orbital location for the Program Guide to display up to nine days of program information. If
your satellite TV system cannot access either of these two orbital locations, then the
Program Guide displays up to two days of program information.
Expanding and Collapsing Channel Ranges
Certain types of programming are available on a range of channels in the Program Guide.
And sometimes, the range of channels is collapsed into one row of the guide to make it
easier to scroll through programming. For example, the range of SiriusXM™ Satellite
Radio music channels are accessed from DISH channel 99, as indicated by the + sign on
the row in the Progam Guide. Highlight and select the row for channel 99 and the display
of dozens of specific channels within this range will expand upwards (if your Channel
Order in Format Guide under Guide Settings is set to Descending) or downwards (if
your Channel Order is Ascending) on screen. Scroll to and select a specific music
channel. Or if you know the number of your favorite music channel, you can type 99
followed by the number on your remote control NUMBER PAD to directly access it.
