Using the Program Guides
Sorting the Current DIRECTV® Programming Guide Alphabetically
The AlphaSort™ feature lists all the program titles in the current DIRECTV® programming guide in alphabetical order. You can also find this icon in the channel banner. Select the AlphaSort icon to search for specific program titles that are in the current guide. After listing programs whose first letter or number match your entry, AlphaSort lists programs in the current DIRECTV® programming guide that have your entry anywhere in the title.
In the AlphaSort menu, use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight a |
|
character, then press OK. | AlphaSort icon |
For example, to search for the program Auto Racing, the first letter you should highlight and select is “A.” (Words like “The”, “A”, and “An” appear at the end of a title.) All titles that begin with “A” appear in the AlphaSort list. Next, enter the letter “U”. All titles beginning with “AU” appear in the list. Programs that contain “AU” anywhere in their titles will appear at the end of the list.
