Chapter 4: Watching TV

Information icons

In addition to the basic channel and program information contained in the Channel Banners (program title, channel name, rating, etc.), there are a set of information icons. These icons tell you more about the program you are watching and about the status of your DIRECTV® High-Definition Receiver. Here are descriptions of each icon:

Multi-language

This icon appears when additional audio tracks are available. Press the yellow AUDIO button to choose an alternate audio track.

Locked

This icon appears when the system is locked.

Unlocked

This icon appears when the system is temporarily unlocked.

Mail

This icon appears when there are unread mail messages from DIRECTV in your system mailbox.

Music channel

This icon appears when the channel is a music-only channel.

Pay per view program

This icon appears when the program is a pay per view program.

Closed caption

This icon appears when closed captioning is available for a program.

Dolby® Digital

This icon indicates that the current program is being broadcast using a Dolby Digital audio track. Because all high-definition broadcasts use Dolby Digital audio, the icon does not appear for HDTV broadcasts.

Letterbox

This icon indicates that the current program is being broadcast using the letterbox widescreen video format.

High definition

This icon indicates that the current program is a High Definition broadcast (HDTV).

The Program Detail Screen

If you want to see more information than is presented in either the Channel Banner or the Full Channel Banner, you can press the INFO button twice to display the Program Detail Screen.

The Program Detail Screen displays all of the information provided in the Channel Banner and Full Channel Banner, plus complete details about the program and a list of actions you can take related to the program.
