Watching Channels

The Favorites window was designed to facilitate your navigation through the channels. Using it you no longer need to select the capture device every time to watch the channels from different devices. All you need is to add them to the favorites list in the Channels tab of the Configuration window and after that you can watch them as if they were within the same device:

To open the Favorites window, you need to click the Favorites button on the Main Controls panel.

The following buttons are used to navigate and edit the Favorites window:

	Move channel up	Use this button to move the channel up in the Favorites list.
	Move channel down	Use this button to move the channel down in the Favorites list.
	Rename channel	Use this button to change the channel name that is displayed in the Favorites list.
	Delete channel from list	Use this button to remove the channel from the Favorites list.
	Clear list	Use this button to remove all the channels and clear the Favorites list.

Note, that if some of the channels are unavailable at the moment due to the fact that the device they belong to is disconnected, they will be shown in the Favorites list marked in a color different from all the other channels:

If you wish to keep these unavailable channels in the list but prefer not to show it, you can select the Hide unavailable option in the Favorites window express menu.

You can also use the Favorite channels surfing button to display all the channels on the favorites list that belong to the same device. You will see the channels in the main display window. To view the channel you like just click it. To expand the selected channel to the whole window you will need to double-click it.

To watch the channels and the recorded files simultaneously the Dual-view mode button in the main controls panel is used. If you have some files recorded, you can view them together with the channels in the favorite list. Click the Playback button in the main controls panel and press the Dual-view mode button. The screen of the AVS TV Box program will be divided into two parts - one representing the recorded file and the second showing the currently selected channel:

To switch between the recorded video and the current channel just double-click the smaller window area (current channel in the above figure) and they will change their positions in the AVS TV Box screen.
