Turning On and Off
Changing channels

through the channel list one at a time. You can also set a favourite
channel list which will allow you to skip between the channels you
watch most often. How to set up this list is explained on page 16.
Note that the channel numbers are not continuous. These are set by
the broadcaster and cannot be changed.
If you wish to search for your channel by name, use Quickfind.
Press the OK button.
Use the arrow buttons to move the highlighter around the
programme names, until the channel you wish to watch is
highlighted. (Only some channels are shown inside the box, keep
moving left or right to find the rest.) If favourite channels are set,
only those chosen will appear in the box.
Press the OK button again to change the channel.
If you know the channel number you are looking for, enter this
using the number buttons. With digital TV there can be up to 3 digits
in the number.
A banner with information about the programme currently showing
will appear briefly each time the channel changes. For more details on
getting programme information, see page 15.
Teletext and interactive services
If your chosen channel has digital text features press the TEXT or coloured buttons to access them.
To return to normal viewing press TEXT again. Some services offer interactive features, details of
these and how to use them will appear on screen as they occur.
To change the view to show what’s on NOW or NEXT, use the
UP / DOWN arrows.
To see what’s on another channel use the LEFT or RIGHT arrows.
When you see a programme you want to watch, press OK.
Using the Quick TV Guide
When you are watching TV you can find out what’s on other channels without interrupting your
viewing using the Quick TV Guide. This is the small banner that appears at the bottom of the screen

Using Your DTR
NOTE: The full Programme Guide will normally be updated by your DTR automatically overnight. Until
then, you will have use of a reduced guide that will not enable you to access all the features of the
DTR. Please ensure you leave your DTR in Standby overnight, every night. If you subscribe to Top
Up TV services, depending on what time of day you initially set up your DTR, it may take up to 24
hours for TV Favourites to show in your library.
