You want to do a factory reset, and that’s fine. But, before resetting your Horizon box, please be aware that this action will delete your future planned recordings. Your existing recordings will not be affected, but you might miss something special you wanted to record later. To help set these recordings again after the reset, we recommend taking a picture of your planner with your phone.
Below is an image of how you planner will look after the reset.

What does the source button on the Horizon remote control do?
