General On-Screen Guide Features

While there are nine different ways the on-screen guide can appear, there are some things they have in common.

The guide name will always appear in the upper left corner. It may be something simple like “PROGRAM GUIDE.” If you have filtered the guide, it could be more descriptive such as “COMEDY MOVIES GUIDE.” (See “Filtering the Guides” section later in this chapter.)

∙Immediately below the guide title are indicators showing how the guide is further filtered. The label to the left of the bullet specifies the current class filter setting. To the right of the bullet you will see the current channel list.

∙In the upper right corner of your screen the current day, date, and time are displayed.

∙Just below the time you may see small icons indicating the status of the system or details about the currently highlighted program title. They are the same icons that can appear in the Channel Banner.

∙The primary body of the guide screen displays channels or program titles. You can press

on a currently airing program to tune to it. Pressing will take you to the INFORMATION screen described later in this chapter in the section called “Getting Program Information.”

∙If a program title cannot entirely fit in the space provided, an ellipsis (…) indicates that a portion of the title is missing.

Using PreSelect™ to Schedule Programs for Viewing

With the PreSelect feature you can select viewing choices in advance to avoid missing them. Use PreSelect to plan your evening viewing; your DIRECTV System will automatically change channels according to your selections.

To PreSelect a program, find an upcoming program you wish to watch. Press to add a PreSelect entry to the SCHEDULER screen which holds all scheduled events. Programs that are PreSelected for viewing will be identified on the on-screen guide with a check mark ( ü) before the program title. An

additional press of the key will return the status to not scheduled.
