DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

HANNEL LISTS

The key gives access to the channel lists and the different list and zap functions.

NOTE

Once in a list, the selections for Group (Yellow) and Sort (Blue) are kept until you change the selection. The active selection is shown in the InfoBanner with icons. Sometimes a list seems to be empty because of the selection of the Sort option. If this happens, set Sort option to None.

With the colored keys, you can access the powerful tools for further organization of the lists:

■The (Red) key gives access to the different modes: TV (shows the TV channels), Radio (shows the Radio channels), or List (shows the Favorite lists by name).

■The (Green) key gives, depending on the selected mode, access to the different lists: All channels, Current SAT, the favorite lists. TV or Radio show when in list mode.

■The (Yellow) key gives, depending on the selected mode, the possibility to group the list: None (default), Per SAT (satellite), Per network or Per TP (transponder). Once the list is grouped, a group name header is added into the list with a + or - sign in front of the name.

■The key gives access to the contents of a group. The + sign indicates that a group has hidden channels (collapsed) and a - sign shows that the channels are visible. Once a channel is

selected, the key returns you to the header and the key goes to the next header.

■The (Blue) key gives, depending on the selected mode, the possibility to sort the complete list in None (default), from A to Z and Z to A or show a limited list that is selected by Character, Word, Scrambled, FTA (Free-To-Air) or Locked.

■The (White) key gives you access to the different edit modes to modify or to create a list. Depending on the selected List, Group and Sort options, you can select: None (default), Add, Move, Rename, (change pre-set) Volume, Lock and Delete.

OK key - to access the channel list.

I-key - to open a grouped list.

White key - to edit the list.
