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 using the EPG;
◆ order pay-per-view events using Ticket;
◆ set reminders for programmes you want to watch using the Planner;
◆ 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 BACK button to watch the previously-viewed channel;
◆ the CH + and CH – buttons, or;
◆ one of the on-screen methods described in later sections.
❖ Unblocking a blocked channel
If you have used Parental Control to block any channels (see page 28), you cannot view
these channels without first entering your PIN code to unblock them. In addition, if you
have used Parental Control to set viewing restrictions based on age category ratings (see
page 29), programmes with an age rating at the same level as your setting (or above) will
be blocked.
If the following message appears when you change channel:
This channel is blocked. Please enter your PIN.
1. Use the number buttons to enter the correct PIN code, then press OK.
2. If you make a mistake, press L to delete a number.
If the PIN code is correct, the channel you want to watch appears.
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 blocked.
Note
After you unblock a channel using your PIN code, you can change to another rated channel without
having to re-enter your PIN code.
If you change to a channel that has no rating, after two minutes you will have to enter your PIN code
again in order to watch a blocked channel.
