    1. I have created a list of favorite channels in the order that suits me - but I can not confirm it in any way, as a result the default operator list that we get from the box is active. In the instructions attached to the decoder, where the method of creating your own program lists is presented, the procedure ends with a command in the EPG [change list], and then there is nothing.

    ad 3. the decoder starts up like a computer after being turned off. if you give it to standby it will be faster
