USING THE PROGRAM GUIDES

For example, to search for the program Auto Racing, the first letter you should highlight and select is “A.” (Words like “The”, “A”, and “An” appear at the end of a title.) All titles that begin with “A” appear in the AlphaSort list. Next, enter the letter “U”. All titles beginning with “AU” appear in the list. Programs that contain “AU” anywhere in their titles will appear at the end of the list.

FINDING DIRECTV PROGRAMS USING SCOUT™

The Scout icon at the bottom of the DIRECTV® programming guide lets you assign

“Scouts” to search all DIRECTV programming guides (both current and future) for very specific program title information.

To use Scout:

1.Highlight the Scout icon in the program guide and select it.

2.Highlight Scout 1-8 from the next screen and press OK. If you’re setting up a new Scout, make sure to select a Scout without a check beside it, since the check means you have already set up that Scout.

Select a Scout without a check to set up a new Scout.

3.Select Enter Text to set up the information the Scout will look for in all program guide titles.

4.Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the desired search parameters. For example, if you are interested in tennis events, enter a common term you might see in program titles, like “tennis.”

Select Enter Text to set up a Scout.
