Searching for programs in the Guide

You can search the entire list of programs stored in your DIRECTV® High-Definition Receiver’s program guide to find exactly the program you wish to see. There are four ways to search the Guide:

By Credits: Lets you find programs that match the actor, director, role, award, or year you type using an on-screen keyboard.

By Title: Lets you find programs that match the program title you type using an on-screen keyboard.

By Text: Lets you find programs for which either the credits or the title match the search term you type using an on-screen keyboard.

By Category: Lets you find programs that match the program categories and sub- categories you select from an on-screen list.

These search techniques are described in the sections that follow.

Searching by Credits, Title, or Text

To find programs that star a certain actor, share a director, have a particular character, have won a specific award, or were created in a certain year, search By Credits. To search for a program whose title you know, search by title.

Searching by text looks at both credits and titles to find programs that match your search terms.
