Basic TV Operation

Changing Between DIRECTV and TV Mode

When you change channels by entering numbers with the remote control, you tune to programming that can come from one of three different sources: the DIRECTV satellite (if you have DIRECTV® service), a terrestrial off-air antenna, or cable TV. You tune to one of these sources by pressing either TV or DIRECTV on the remote control; then you can enter the channel numbers. The diagrams below show how your remote control communicates with the three sources.

In DIRECTV mode, you tune to channels that come from the DIRECTV satellite signal (if you subscribe to DIRECTV® programming). Enter channel numbers that are one to four digits long. Then press OK to tune.

In TV mode, you tune to channels that carry the terrestrial off-air or cable TV signal.

To tune to an analog channel, enter channel numbers that are up to three digits long. Press OK to tune.

To tune to a digital channel, enter channel numbers that are one, two, or three digits long. If necessary, press the right arrow and enter a subchannel number. These subchannel numbers appear in the box to the right of the primary channel number. Press OK to tune.
