What are Favorites Lists?

W
HAT ARE
Favorites Lists are custom lists of your favorite channels. You can create and change the
lists yourself, adding and removing channels as you wish. Your favorite channels can be
grouped in as many as four lists (for TV1) and four more lists, when in Dual Mode, for TV2.
• When using a Favorites List, the Program Guide and Browse Banner display only the
channels in that Favorites List. Also, when you use the remote control UP or DOWN
ARROW to change channels, the receiver skips channels that are not on the list.
Unlisted channels are still accessible by entering the channel number directly using
the remote control NUMBER PAD.
• The All Channels list contains all the channels, including channels not in your current
TV subscription. You cannot make any changes to the default All Channels list.
• The My Channels list contains all the channels in your subscription. You cannot make
any changes to the My Channels list, except by modifying your subscription.
• The My HD Channels list contains all of the high-definition channels in your
subscription.
• Each Favorites List has a unique color in the Program Guide. You can give each list a
unique name. When you first install your receiver, by default the four lists are named
List 1, List 2, List 3, and List 4. These lists are empty until you add channels to them.
• With your receiver set to Single Mode, only the Favorites Lists for TV1 are available.
However, when you change the receiver to Dual Mode, the Favorites Lists for TV2 are
available again.
• If you choose a program using the Themes feature or directly enter a channel number
using the NUMBER PAD on the remote control, then the receiver tunes to the channel
for that program whether or not that channel is included on the active Favorites List.
Parental controls can be used to lock certain channels from being accessed this way.
• You can include over-the-air channels in your Favorites Lists if an over-the-air antenna
is connected to the optional tuner module installed in your receiver's Expansion Port.
See page 125 for detailed instructions on connecting an over-the-air TV antenna.
