The DIRECTV Advanced Program GuideTM
While you are watching live TV, the Advanced Program GuideTM shows you current and upcoming programs. You can use it to see what’s on, change the channel, schedule a recording, purchase and/or record pay per view events when pricing information is available, set Thumb ratings, or select a channel filter. The guide has program information for up to the next two weeks.
To display the guide, press the GUIDE button. To hide it, press GUIDE again (or EXIT).

To change the guide style, press the GUIDE button to display the guide, then press INFO to see the Guide Options. Highlight “Style” and select either the DIRECTV Grid or the List Guide. The DIRECTV Grid is the default style.
Moving Through the Guide. Use the UP, DOWN, RIGHT and LEFT arrows to move around in the guide. Use CHAN UP/DOWN to page up or down. In the Grid Guide, use the FORWARD and BACK buttons to jump through programming information 90 minutes at a time. In the List Guide, the FORWARD and BACK buttons jump through 30 minutes of programming information at a time.
Upcoming Programs. Press SELECT on a program that is not currently airing. This displays some information about the program. You can choose to “Record this showing,” or select “Season Pass & other options” to see the Upcoming Program screen and other actions you can take.
