Basic TV Operation
About the Channel Banner
The channel banner appears whenever you tune to a channel or press INFO on the remote control. When the banner is displayed, pressing INFO gives extended information, when available. Use the arrow buttons and OK to choose an icon in the channel banner.
Channel banner icons represent
Program title, start and end time, rating, current audio language, and audio mode availability
Please note that when you’re in TV mode, the channel banner will not look the same as when you’re in DIRECTV mode (if you subscribe to DIRECTV® programming).
