The Banner tab lets you set the amount of time the channel banner stays on- screen when you change channels on your DIRECTV Receiver. You can choose 2, 4, or 6 seconds.
TV Ratio
The TV Ratio tab lets you set the aspect ratio of the DIRECTV Receiver's output signal to match the aspect ratio of your TV. Choose Widescreen (16:9) if you have a widescreen TV. Otherwise, leave this setting on Standard (4:3).
Time Zone
The Time Zone menu lets you set the local time zone and enact a Daylight- Saving time option. Accurate time and time zone settings are necessary to use the Autotune timer. Setting the time zone is normally automatic, and generally does not require you to do anything.
Setting the time zone should only be done in rare circumstances, such as if the program times are wrong after the access card has been activated.
