USING THE GUIDE BUTTON
Each press of the GUIDE button on the remote control takes you to an alternate type of TV or DIRECTV® programming guide: Detail Guide, SurfGuide (DIRECTV only), or Grid Guide.
By default, the Detail Guide appears when you press GUIDE on the remote control. You can change the default guide from the Detail Guide to the Grid Guide or SurfGuide (DIRECTV only). Select Preferences from the Main menu. Select Default Guide. Use the arrows and OK to choose the guide you want to appear first when you press GUIDE. If SurfGuide is selected as the default guide, the Grid Guide will appear when you access the TV program guide, since SurfGuide isn’t available as a TV program guide.
