What’s On

TIP

Use your handy Channel Lineup (included in your Welcome package) to ﬁnd the numbers of all the channels.

Watching TV

Now that everything’s set up, you’re ready to grab your remote and get clicking!

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 (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, covered in detail starting on page 43. 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).
