Step 3: Favorite Channels

Setting Favorite Channels is optional. If you do not want a favorite channel list, go to Step 4.

channel. Programming favorites does not change the settings on your STB or other remote controls.

Channel Up/Down

Note: When advancing through your favorite channels using the buttons, please allow the channel to switch before pressing the button again.

Make a list of your Favorite Channels. The channels will advance in the order they are entered. For instance, if you program channels 225, 125, 57, and then 563, the

will memorize them in that order and advance as 225, 125, 57, 563. Flipper does NOT place channels in numeric order.

STBs and TVs generally use a three or four digit channel entry system, 000 or 0000. To enter channels, use 0’s as a place holder. For instance, enter channel 7 as 007 (three digit) or 0007 (four digit). For channel 22, enter as 022 or 0022. If your TV or STB requires an Enter key to change channels, please see “Channel Entry Options.”

Please consult your DTV manual. Use the dash “-” button, if needed. Some DTVs do not use a dash, and instead may enter channels in different formats, such as 401 for channel 4-1, or 0301 for channel 30-1. If using a newer TV with an over the air digital turner, you may need to learn the dash key from your existing remote. See “Learning Set Up”
