Watching Programs from Now Playing

All programs recorded on your DIRECTV® HD DVR are listed in the Now Playing List (no more searching through unlabeled videotapes!). To go to the Now Playing List, press the DIRECTV button on your remote control twice, or press the LIST button. As soon as a recording begins, it appears at the top of the list.

You can watch any title in the Now Playing List, even one that is still recording. Just highlight it and press PLAY. If you have watched part of the program already, it resumes from the point you stopped watching. When a program ends, you have the option to delete it. If you don’t delete it, the program is available to watch again from the beginning. To delete a program from the list, highlight it and press CLEAR.

Save to VCR. See page 81 for information on this feature.

The Program Information screen includes a brief description of the selected program. It also shows the program’s start time, channel, duration, ratings, advisories, and other attributes. For more details on a given program, press INFO at a Program Information screen. The Program Details screen appears.
