Channel List
The Lists pop-up menu enables you to filter the guide to display only channels from the selected list. In
addition to
All Channels , you can choose one of your own defined
lists. See the “Fav. Lists” section of “DIRECTV PLUS™ Digital
Satellite Receiver’s Menu System” to learn how to set your favorite
lists.
You can use the key to cycle through the lists at any time in
the on-screen guide without using the drop-down menu. The Top-10
list can only be selected via the drop-down menu.
The “Top 10” favorite list is automatically maintained by the digital
satellite receiver. The digital satellite receiver monitors the channels
viewed in your household and compiles the ten most watched
channels on the list. As viewing habits change, the list will update
itself accordingly.
It should be noted that all channel lists are maintained privately within the digital satellite receiver for
your use only.
Guide Times
The Guides pop-up menu ordinarily provides easy access to future programming information. Simply
select one of the hour offsets from the current time. After a few
seconds, the selected guide will appear.
Another type of guide that may be offered is a list-type guide. These
guides do not represent channels and time, but rather a list of
possible options. These guide types are very rare.
Class Filters
Another way to filter the guide is by using the Classes menu. From this menu you can select
classifications including the following:
•
Subscrptn will exclude the PPV channels from the on-screen
guide.
•
PPV will list only channels offering PPV programs.
•
Schedule will list channels that have events you have scheduled.
•
Other options may be listed since DIRECTV can update this list
via the satellite.
