Finding High-Definition Programs

There are many ways to find high-definition programs to watch and record.

•Filter the program guide. See page 41 for more about filtering the guide.

•Check out HD programming from DIRECTV. The DIRECTV® HD Package includes several HD channels. When you subscribe to the DIRECTV® HD Package, you will receive a list of the HD channels currently available.

•The “HD” icon in the DIRECTV Advanced Program GuideTM shows which programs are in HD format. If you see this icon in the program grid, you know it’s broadcast in high-definition format.

•Limit the results of any program search (such as Search by Title) using the category Audio & Video, and the sub-category HDTV.

If you connected an off-air antenna, digital off-air broadcast stations are generally on local channels with a dash (-) in the channel number. For example, 7-1 might be the local digital broadcast of your local channel 7. Use ADVANCE to enter a dash (-) for channel numbers that include a dash.
