Satellite Receiver Features
Additional Program Guides
The Program Guides menu gives you more guides to choose from besides the Detail and Grid Guides: the Channel
Guide, the Logo Guide, the Category Guide, the Viewing Suggestions Guide, AlphaSort and Scout. You can also
change the current profile from the Profile Guide in the Program Guides menu.
You can access these guides from the Main menu by selecting Program Guides.
The Channel Guide
Displays the programming schedule for the selected channel.
Tip
Your digital satellite receiver can store up to three days of
information, so retrieving data can take a little time.
It can take up to 6 hours to download all three days of
information when turning the system on after the Guide
information has been lost.
More Details
There’s a variety of program information sent along with standard broadcast signals, and your
digital satellite receiver can display much of it (if available).
The More Details menu can offer information (if available) about Actors and Roles, the Director,
the Writer, Original Materials, the Production Studio, Awards, Keywords associated with the
program, and the original release Date and Run Length. Just use the remote control’s arrow and
SELECT buttons to highlight and select the desired button, and to display more information.
You can even use the displayed information in the More Details menu to look for matching
information in the stored guide programs, or to create search criteria for use with the Scout™
search feature of your digital satellite receiver.
