• Tune to a channel.
• Press the remote control’s INFO, SAT, or GO BACK buttons while watching programming.
• Press UP, DOWN, or INFO on the satellite receiver’s front panel.
• Exit the on-screen menu system.
On-screen icons represent frequently-used menu items. Some icons also change appearance to show the item’s

you select in the channel banner can also be selected in the program guides.
