Display the Next Highest Authorized Channel When
a Subscriber Enters an Invalid Channel Number
Introduction
The Invalid Numeric Entry Chooses Next Highest Channel option lets you specify
whether the set-top will tune to the next highest channel when the subscriber enters
an invalid channel number on the remote control. For example, suppose there are no
channels between 10 and 50. If you select this option, when the subscriber tries to
tune to channel 15, the set-top will automatically tune to channel 50. If you do not
enable this option, the channel banner displays question marks in the channel field,
the LED on the front panel of the set-top blinks, and the TV remains tuned to the
channel the subscriber was watching.
Recommended Setting
Enable this option to allow invalid channel numbers to display the next highest
authorized channel.
