Watching TV
With the MODE switch to the left (under the DIRECTV logo), press TV POWER ON. To access the channel of your choice, simply key in its numbers on your remote control (the channel will appear in a few seconds, or press ENTER after the numbers and it will appear right away). You can also navigate to different channels through the Guide. Keep in mind, either way, you’ll only be able to access those channels in your chosen DIRECTV® programming package.
Use the black keys on the left side of your remote control to adjust volume up or down (VOL) or mute the sound (MUTE). The black keys on the right side can take you to the next channel numerically up or down (CHAN), or jump to the previous channel you watched (PREV).
The Channel Banner
Any time you tune to a channel, you’ll see the channel banner appear across the top of the screen. This banner displays the following useful information:
1) Current date & time
2)DIRECTV Channel – Channel logo, number and call letters of the station you’re currently viewing.
3)Program – Program title, stop and start time and rating of the current program.
4)Current Favorites – Favorite Channels list currently in use.
5)Audio options – Two states: bright and dim. If displayed brightly, alternate audio options are available.
6)Messages – Two states: bright and dim. If displayed brightly, there are new DIRECTV messages in Caller ID & Messages.
7)Parental Controls – Parental Controls lock status. Three states: Locked, unlocked and temporarily unlocked.
Music Channels
Your DIRECTV service includes dozens of enjoyable, continuous, commercial- free music channels with something for every taste. Tune to these just as you would to any channel. You’ll see a special Channel Banner that initially displays the channel description (for example, “Alternative,” “Today’s Country”). As each song is played, its info will appear in the banner, including song title, artist and record company.
