Tuning to a Program

To tune directly to a current program listed in the guide, point to the program and press SELECT.

To see information about a program in the guide, point to the program and press INFO.

Then, you can select:

•Tune Program to tune to that channel

•Record Program to record the program.

•Remind Me to set up a Watch Timer, which will display a prompt when the program is about to begin. If you aren’t already tuned to the correct channel when the program begins, the Watch Timer will tune to the correct channel for you.

•Showings to see what other times the program is available.

•More Details opens another display with detailed information (if available).

The options available to you may vary according to the type of program you select.

More Details

There’s a variety of program information sent along with standard broadcast signals, and your digital satellite receiver can display much of it (if available).

The More Details menu can offer information (if available) about Actors and Roles, the Director, the Writer, Original Materials, the Production Studio, Awards, Keywords associated with the program, and the original release Date and Run Length. Just use the remote control’s arrow and SELECT buttons to highlight and select the desired button, and to display more information.

You can even use the displayed information in the More Details menu to look for matching information in the stored guide programs, or to create search criteria for use with the Scout™ search feature of your digital satellite receiver.

Tip

Your digital satellite receiver can store up to seven days of information, so retrieving data can take a little time.

It can take up to 12 hours to download all seven days of information when turning the system on after the Guide information has been lost.

To Access More Details:

1.Highlight a desired program in the on-screen guide and press the remote control’s INFO button.

2.Highlight and select More Details.

Note: The More Details button is displayed in the Program Details menu only if more information is available.

3.Highlight and select the desired on-screen information button to display the details on the opposite side of the screen.

To search for other programs with similar information:

4.Highlight the desired information on the right side of the menu and press the remote control’s SELECT button. This will display any other program stored in the on-screen guides that shares the highlighted information.

To save your search as Scout Criteria:

5.After completing step 4, use the remote control’s arrow and SELECT buttons to select the Save as Scout button. You will be given on-screen instructions to complete this task.
