3.c Favourite lists
The Opticum 405/406 receivers have eight favourite lists for your favourite channels.
The advantage of favourite lists is that you can put a channel in more than one favourite list without the necessity to create a duplicate of this channel (with the consequence that one channel has two different channel numbers). This can be useful for families because every family member can create his/her own favourite list.
To assign one or more channels to a favourite list simply move the selected channels by drag & drop on the name of the favourite list.

To remove one or more channels from a favourite list you first have to select the FAV list you want to remove channels from. Then select the channels you like to remove and select "Delete" from the channel menu or hit the "Del" key on your keyboard.
When you delete channels from a favourite list, the channels are only removed from this favourite list but not from the main list.
You can also use the "Mark as" function in the popup menu of the channel list to assign one or more channels to a FAV list or remove them from all FAV lists.
Channels that are in a favourite list are marked in the channel list with a darker background colour.
To change this colour please see chapter 5.b.
Within a FAV list you can change the order independent of the order in the main list. If you change the channel order within the FAV list by using the drag & drop function you will only change the order within the FAV list but not the order of the main list. In opposite the order within the FAV list is unchanged when you change the order within the main list.
To change the name of a FAV list please make a double click on the FAV name, you will get the following window:

Here you can enter the name of the FAV list.
With the "export" function in the popup menu of the favourite lists you can save a favourite list to your hard disc.
With the "import" function you can ad this favourite list to another settings file. If there are one or more channels in the favourite list which haven't been in the settings file before, these channels and the corresponding transponders will be added.
Continue with Channel parameters.
