About the Channel Banner

The channel banner appears whenever you tune to a channel or press INFO on the remote control. When the banner is displayed, pressing INFO gives extended information, when available. Use the arrow buttons and OK to choose an icon in the channel banner.

Channel banner icons represent frequently-used features. Some icons change appearance to show the item’s status or availability.

Program title, start and end time, rating, current audio language, and audio mode availability

Please note that when you’re in TV mode, the channel banner will not look the same as when you’re in DIRECTV mode (if you subscribe to DIRECTV® programming).
