Using your Viasat box
Getting Started
Using the Viasat Guide
Your box has an on-screen digital guide to your digital satellite services. It is designed to
help you get the most out of your box. You use it to:
watch programmes and at the same time find out what is showing on other channels,
both now and later on;
see on-screen TV programme listings seven days ahead via the EPG;
order movies, sports and events using Ticket;
set reminders for programmes you want to watch using the Planner;
set your box to record programmes on now or showing in the future;
watch programmes you have recorded;
access a range of interactive services, such as games you can play using your
remote control;
change settings on your box, including the Parental Control settings, to make sure
your box works how you want it to.
Changing channel
You can change channel by using:
the number buttons;
the
ch +
and
–
buttons; or
one of the on-screen methods described in the following sections.
Unlocking a locked channel
If you have used Parental Control to set an Age lock level (see page 24), then programmes
broadcast with a rating above the level you have set, will be locked.
If you want to watch a locked programme, you will need to enter your PIN code (see page
24).
If the following message appears when you change channel:
Please enter PIN code to unlock channel
1. Use the
number
buttons to enter the correct PIN code.
2. If you make a mistake, press
BACK
to delete a number.
If the PIN code is correct, the programme you want to watch displays.
If the PIN code is not correct, you will see a message to tell you. You can either try again,
or change channel to a channel that is not locked.
