Editing user profile names

The four user profiles – User 1 to User 4 – can be renamed for members of your household. The Family and All Channels profiles cannot be renamed. You can change the names of User 1 to User 4 profiles to anything you wish, using up to eight letters and numbers.

1.Press the MENU button on your remote control (the main menu appears).

2.Highlight PROFILES and press SELECT (the Profiles menu appears).

3.Highlight the profile you wish to rename and press SELECT (the menu for that user profile appears, with the Edit User Name item highlighted).

4.Press SELECT to start editing the user name for that profile (the Edit User Name screen appears).

5.Type a new name for the user profile as described below:

To type each letter or number in the new name, highlight a key on the on-screen keyboard and press SELECT. Repeat this until you have typed the entire name.

If you need to erase letters, highlight the on-screen left arrow (near the top-right corner of the keyboard) and press SELECT.

To erase the entire name, highlight Clear and press SELECT.

6.When you have finished typing the user profile name, highlight Back and press SELECT.

Editing channel lists

Editing channel lists simplifies your channel surfing by removing unwanted channels from your channel list. When a profile is active, its channel list determines:

which channels are skipped when you press the CH+/CH- buttons to scroll through channels, and

which channels appear in the Program Guide.

You can tune to a channel directly by pressing the 0 - 9 buttons on your remote control even when that channel is removed from the profile's channel list.

The Family profile is the master profile—channel restrictions set in the Family profile apply to the entire DIRECTV® System (when the system is locked), regardless of which user profile is active. Channels that are removed from the channel list in the Family profile are “blocked” for all profiles—that is, these channels cannot be viewed even when tuned directly using the 0 - 9 buttons on your remote.
