Tour 2: DIRECTV ADVANCED PROGRAM GUIDE™

While you’re watching live TV, the DIRECTV ADVANCED PROGRAM GUIDE™ lets you see what’s on, change channels, schedule recordings, and more. To see it, press the GUIDE button on your remote control.

Changing Channels

The guide shows a list of channels on the left and different times across the top. One program is highlighted—it’s a different color than the others. Its description appears at the top of the grid. Press the UP or DOWN arrows to move to a different channel, then press SELECT. Pressing SELECT on a program that is currently showing changes the channel to display that program and hides the guide.

Scheduling a Recording

Press the GUIDE button to bring back the Program Guide. It’s easy to record a program using the guide. Simply highlight the program you want and press the RECORD button. A transparent screen appears, from which you select “Record this Showing.” If the program is currently playing, the recorder changes channels and begins recording; otherwise, the recording is scheduled for the future. When you’re recording, the red light on the front of the recorder illuminates.

Making a List of Favorite Channels

You can create a list of your favorite channels and then set the guide to show only channels that are on the list. This is a quick way to see programs coming up on the channels that are most important to you.
