The Channel Banner provides quick information as you button channels on your DIRECTV® HD Receiver. If you want to see information about the channel you are currently watching, simply press the INFO button on your DIRECTV® HD Receiver’s remote control. Pressing the INFO button displays the Full Channel Banner.
