The DIRECTV® Programming Guide offers complete TV listings and access to much more.The Guide lists programs according to their time slot and channel.With it, you can tune to a program, be notified when a program is about to start, order pay per view programs, search through listings by the type of program you’re looking for, and tag programs for future viewing.You can also access the menu, other guides, a tag list, and online help from the Guide.

The channel scroll elevator shows the relative location and amount of channels in the display relative to the number of total channels in selected FAV/THEMES lists. It also implies the amount of total pages accessible by pressing the PAGE+/- buttons.

The channel list shows the channels available based on FAVS/THEMES/SUBTHEMES currently selected.

Arrows indicate that the program extends beyond the time slot shown.

The Tag mark indicates that the program has been selected for future viewing. If a program is tagged, the tag will always display in the Guide cell.The system will notify you before the program starts so that you can tune to it.

The Program list shows all the programs airing in a time slot. If program names are too long to fit into a guide cell, they may be truncated or not displayed at all. However, when a program is selected, its full name appears in the banner.

What’s in the Guide

The Guide shows the programming available for a 1 1/2 hour period. Programs you can tune to are determined by settings you make in Menu mode. For example, if you set maturity rating at PG-13, you will not be able to tune to programs with higher maturity ratings such as R without first entering an access code if you have locked the system (see page 31).

The Guide also displays network channel information in the banner.When you are displaying programming for the current time and press the 1 button, the highlight shifts to the channel list and displays the selected channel’s information in the banner. Long channel information is available when you press INFO.To redisplay program information, press the 2 button.
