Using the System
Note: When you use the Program Guide, if the receiver needs to get the
latest information (which might take a few minutes), it’ll display a
message that asks you to let it do this. As it downloads, the receiver
displays a status bar. To avoid getting this message, turn the receiver off
when you’re not using it. It will get the latest information by itself and
maintain an updated Program Guide.
3. After you have highlighted the program you want, you can press the
INFO button for more information about the program you highlight. If
you do, press the CANCEL button to go back to the Program Guide.
4. Press the SELECT button to change to the highlighted program. If you
select a program that is on in the future, the receiver displays a message to
create a timer. See User Event Timers on page 48.
5. Press the CANCEL or VIEW button to close the
Program Guide.
Use the Program Banner
You can use the Program Banner to find out more about a
program you watch, while you watch it. The receiver displays the
Program Banner for a few seconds at the top of the TV screen
every time you change the channel or press the VIEW button.
Note: If the batteries in your remote get weak and need to be replaced, you
will see a low battery warning message on the Program Banner.
Use the Browse Banner
You can use the Browse Banner to see what other programs are on and not
miss any of a program you watch. The
Browse Banner shows info on the
program you are watching at the top of the TV screen, and info on other
programs at the bottom of the TV screen. Unlike the
Program Banner, the
Browse Banner stays on the TV screen until you close it.
Tip: Whenever
you change
channels, the
Program
Banner
appears for a
few seconds
with
information on
the program
that’s playing
on that
channel.
