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.

pay per view channels. This does not mean that the digital satellite receiver is faulty. These
