Finding out what’s on: the Program Guides

Your DIRECTV® HD Receiver provides access to detailed information about TV schedules. If you want to know what’s on, just use the Guide. The Guides provide scheduling information for all types of programming (satellite, off-air, or cable TV).

Types of Guides

When you want to find out what’s on, you can use the simple, fast Surf Guide; the detailed, informative Grid Guide; or the graphics-rich Logo Guide. The pages that follow tell you how to access and use each of these Guide types.

Surf Guide

The Surf Guide allows you to quickly scan to see what is on right now while still viewing the channel you are watching—great for those times when you just want to quickly check out what’s showing on that favorite channel.

Grid Guide

The Grid Guide is the most complete, detailed Guide type. It lets you see the programs for each channel in a scrollable schedule (sorted by channel number, or by channel name). If you don’t know what you want to watch, and you want to browse a broad range of channels, the Grid Guide may be for you.

Logo Guide

The Logo Guide lets you find out what’s on by browsing through the channels by highlighting the channels’ logos.
