Local Channels from DIRECTV

Hughes Model HIRD-E86 Platinum HD Receiver

Local Channels from DIRECTV

Local channels from DIRECTV, when available and subscribed to, will be listed as traditional channel numbers along with the network logo or call letters.

DIRECTV® Programming

DIRECTV programming will be listed with network logo and channel numbers 100 to 9999. For example, the DIRECT TICKET™ movie preview channel is channel 100.

Basic Channel Changing

There are many ways to “surf” (move from channel to channel) through the available programming. You already know two ways to change channels. The first of these is by using the

and keys on the remote control. Each key press takes you to the next available channel in the direction that you selected.

The second way is to enter the Channel Number of the desired channel. For example, to go to the DIRECT TICKET movie preview channel, press 1 0 0 on the remote control.

Note: if the channel does not change right away, press the SELECT key on the remote control to instruct the HD receiver that you have finished entering channel number digits.

You can enter the number for any channel that you wish.

To select a terrestrial ATSC (digital) channel, enter the main channel number followed by the hyphen — key, then the sub-channel number, and then press the SELECT key on the remote control.

Channel Banner

Every time you select a channel while you are watching TV, a Channel Banner, such as that shown to the right, will be displayed at the top of the screen. You can also display the banner by pressing the INFO key on the remote control or on the front panel of the receiver. This banner also displays channel-related symbols where applicable. These symbols are shown below.

The following icons may be displayed on the channel banner. Subsequent sections will explain how to access these features.
