Changing channels

Your DIRECTV HD Receiver can tune in DIRECTV programming, and, if you have connected an off-air antenna or cable TV cable, it can tune in your local off-air NTSC and digital broadcasts or cable TV programs.

All available channels from any of these sources will appear in the Guide, and can be

tuned in using the CH buttons and the 0 - 9 number buttons on your remote control. The Channel Banners that appear on the screen as you change channels (or when you press the INFO button) indicate the signal type for the program you are watching (Satellite, Analog, or Digital). Satellite indicates the program on the current channel is being received through your satellite dish. Analog indicates that the program is an NTSC program from a cable company or off-air antenna. Digital indicates the program is a Digital TV broadcast (either HDTV or SDTV) being received from a cable TV connection or off-air antenna. (See Chapter 1 for discussions of the types of TV programming your DIRECTV® HD Receiver can receive.)

To change the channel you are watching:

1	Press the CH	button on the remote control to tune to a higher channel number.
	Press the CH	button to tune to a lower channel number.

Enter a channel number directly with the 0 - 9 number buttons. After entering a number,

2 press the SELECT button or wait a few seconds for the system to tune to the new channel. For some broadcasts, you may need to enter a two-part number to specify a channel and a sub-channel (entering 5–1, for example, would tune you to channel 5, sub-channel 1). To enter two-part channel numbers, use the number buttons to enter the first number, then press the delimiter button ( – ), then enter the second number.

3Use the Quick Guide or full-screen Program Guide to change channels.

Adjusting the volume

To adjust the volume while watching DIRECTV programming, you simply press the VOL + button on the remote control to increase the volume or the VOL - button to decrease the volume. In order for the DIRECTV® HD Receiver’s remote control to adjust your TV’s volume setting, you will have to program the remote control to operate your TV. (See Chapter 8: Programming the remote control.)

Getting help

While using the Guide or Menu systems, you will often see a line of text at the bottom of the screen explaining what you are seeing on-screen, or telling you what your next step is. When this brief explanation is not enough, you can view more detailed Help screens by pressing the HELP button on your remote control.
