When a button on the remote is pressed, the infrared signal is sent to an IR receiver.
The receiver then sends commands to electronic components. For the remote to
send its signals to the system’s IR receiver, it must have a clear view of the front panel

Subchannel Separator
Many networks broadcast multiple digital subchannels. For example, some networks
broadcast four standard denition subchannels identied using a decimal point (such
as 09, 09.1, 09.2, and 09.3). When using the arrow buttons to navigate the electronic
program guide, these channels appear in order in the channels listing. To access
these subchannels directly using the remote buttons, use the “LAST” button (which
also has a dot) on the number pad to represent the decimal point.
For example, to go directly to channel 09.2, on the remote control number pad press
0, 9, LAST, and then 2.
