Wait for the Receiver to Download

ADVANCED PROGRAM GUIDE™ Data

The first time you connect a receiver to a satellite antenna you’ve already installed and pointed correctly, the receiver starts to gather information for the program guide (the Advanced Program Guide Data acquisition screen appears).

After you turn on your receiver and tune your TV to the correct video input channel, a progress bar appears indicating that the receiver is gathering this program guide information.

To prevent any damage to your TV screen, the progress bar disappears after 2 minutes (the screen goes blank).

If the screen stays blank for more than 4 minutes, you need to reset the receiver.

Note: When the progress bar reaches 100%, there might be a delay before you actually see video on the screen.

To reset the receiver:

1.Open the flip-down door on the front panel of the DIRECTV® Receiver.

2.Press the RESET button next to the access card slot.

2.Wait a few seconds, then turn the DIRECTV Receiver on again. Wait for it to download program guide information.
