Changing the Channel Order
The Channel Order screen (Live Channels > Channel Order) is not accessible from the Manage System menu but is only available to
administrators. This screen is used to change the order in which live channels are listed to PC and Set-top box users (FIG. 56). This
screen is also used to add unmanaged channels to the system. Unmanaged channels are video streams that users can view that are
not managed by the Vision
2
system.
The following options are available on the Manage Channel Order page.
Perform these steps to change the channel order:
1.
Select a channel in the list.
2.
Click Move Channel Up or Move Channel Down until the channel is in its appropriate location.
3.
Click Save Changes.
