GETTING HELP

As your service continues to be upgraded, you may eventually see screens that differ from those shown in this guide, or see new features that are not documented in this guide. While future improvements may render sections of this guide out of date, you can always get the latest instructions from the on-screen Help.

For information on using TV features, you can select Help from the TV Home screen. For information on using Internet features, select Help from the Web Home screen (these screens are described later in this guide). Help provides introductory tours, detailed instructions, and answers to frequently asked questions.

In addition to selecting Help from TV Home or Web Home, you can get feature- specific help from many screens. For example, for assistance in using e-mail, you can select Help from the Mail screen; to learn more about the Search TV feature, select Help from the Search TV screen, and so on.

GETTING AROUND

To get from place to place while you’re watching DIRECTV® programming or using Internet features, you need to know just one simple rule: select-and-go.

When you see something on your screen that looks interesting, you tell your RCA®-DIRECTVReceiver with UltimateTV® Service to take you there by using the select-and-go technique.

To select an item on the screen:

1Use the Arrow buttons on your remote control or optional wireless keyboard to move the yellow selection box on the screen until it surrounds the item.

2Once an item is surrounded by the yellow box, press the OK button on your remote control or the RETURN key if you’re using the optional wireless keyboard.

When you’re following the instructions here, use the remote control that came with your receiver—not your TV’s remote control.
