DIRECTV PLUS SYSTEM FROM HUGHES NETWORK SYSTEMS - OWNER’S MANUAL

Main Menu

From the MAIN MENU you can access the on-screen guide, customize your system features, check incoming mail, lock and unlock your system, and more.

There are two ways to get to the MAIN MENU. First, you can press

the keys on the remote control. Or when one of the

on-screen program guide is displayed, you can press the key to reveal the pop-up GUIDE MENU, then select the Main Menu button.

Places to go from the MAIN MENU

The Guide button takes you from the MAIN MENU to the on- screen guide. You can use the guide to display what’s available at a given time. The guide also offers a pop-up menu of buttons that are

useful for filtering the guide or changing the style of the on-screen guide. See the chapter “The On-Screen Guides” for information.

The MAIN MENU

A quicker way to access the on-screen guide from the MAIN MENU or any other menu is by pressing

the key, either on the remote control or on the digital satellite receiver’s front panel.

The remaining buttons provide access to those features described in greater detail in this chapter.

Setup

The Setup button will take you to the SETUP MENU, which provides access to infrequently changed setup options of the digital satellite receiver.

Scheduler

The Scheduler button takes you to the SCHEDULER screen, where you can program and edit automated channel-changing events. Events can be programmed to occur either once or multiple times.

Check Mail

The Check Mail button takes you to the CHECK MAIL screen. The mail feature enables DIRECTV to inform you about upcoming special events, programming changes, offers, and other important information.

Purchases

The Purchases button takes you to the PURCHASES screen, where you can review your recent pay per view activity, including past and advance purchases.

Help

The Help button takes you to the ASSISTANCE screen. It should be your first stop when you need help or have a question. Think of this feature as a quick reference manual.

Lock/Unlock

This bottom button displays a pop-up panel to activate or deactivate the LOCK. It is labeled either Lock or Unlock indicating the option available depending on the current status of the digital satellite receiver lock. If the digital satellite receiver is locked, you will see a small lock icon just below the date and time at the top of the screen.
