I can set some channels as "favourites" in the menu section, but how do I select the favourites once they are programmed in? The manual talks about a "Groups" button in the EPG section but I don't see one on the remote or the screen.

Maybe I'm missing the point here. I was expecting favourites to be a special select group of channels which would be listed, I select one of them and the receiver would tune to that channel, moving the dish as necessary.
 
In answer to my own question, and in hopes it might be informative to others, I find that the 'groups' button is in fact the 'Sat' button. It is true that this button selects by satellite, but in fact the channels here are merely grouped by satellite. The alternative of grouping by other characteristics is also possible. So you can have a group for AMC-3 or a group for news which can also contain channels from AMC-3 and other satellites as well.

I did not find this out until I added a channel to a group other than a satellite group. The new group then appeared at the end of my satellite group list. It took me a while to see it there since I am not down there very often!

Now I just have to figure out what is coming up when I press the upper double chevron button in the middle of the remote. This also seems to be related to non-satellite groupings, but provides a different arrangement from the favourites.
