THE MENU SYSTEM

Menu Descriptions

This section briefly describes each of the available Main menu
options. Detailed information about each menu is included in the
sections of the manual which describe each menu.

past purchases.

Timers

Allows you to schedule the satellite system to tune to a specific
channel at a specific time, and to record that channel. (See
“Recording with Timer.”)

Profiles

Allows you to set rating and spending limits, and to create favorite
channel lists.

Options

Dish Pointing

Explore, Explore, Explore!

Once you’ve learned the basics, feel free to poke around the menu
system because exploring is the best way to learn. The context-
sensitive help at the bottom of the screen provides instructions
for getting through any particular menu or control panel.
Remember, press EXIT at any time to leave the menu system and
return to regular satellite TV viewing.

Context-Sensitive Help

Most of the screens contain infor-
mation to help you decide what to do
next. If you get stuck, look for the help
text.
