BASIC TV OPERATION

CHANGING CHANNELS

To change channels by entering numbers with the remote control, the remote needs to be in the correct “mode”: either SAT mode (if you subscribe to DIRECTV® programming) or TV mode.

When you want to watch DIRECTV® programming, put the remote in SAT mode

1.Make sure you are in SAT mode by pressing TV/SAT on the remote control.

2.Enter the channel number and press OK. The channel numbers are three or four digits long. If you do not enter at least three digits, “???” will appear in the channel entry box, and the system will wait for a valid entry.
