7. ADVANCED PROGRAM GUIDE

7-2. Layout of the Advanced Program GuideScreen

The on-screen guide maintains five different channel lists, each of which shows you only those

channels and programs that belong to that channel list. The meaning and generation of each

channel list is described below

All

Shows program listings for all channels that you are eligible to access. They

 

include DIRECTV® channels that your dish antenna can receive, and over-the-

 

air channels that you have selected to add into the channel list during the ini-

 

tial setup procedure.

Custom

Shows the program listings that belong to the CUSTOM channel list. You can

 

customize the CUSTOM channel list by hiding channels from the All channel

 

list that you do not wish to view.

FavoriteMovies

Shows program listings only for those channels on the FAVORITE channel list. You can generate a FAVORITE channel list, which is a short list of channels you tune to most frequently, by setting a favorite icon to the channels from the menu sequence MENU ➝ SETUP ➝ Favorite/Ch. Edit.

Lists only movie programs from channels in the All channel list that have acceptable ratings. The DIRECTV® High-Definition Receiver generates the list automatically based on the category information of each program identified in the APG.

Sports Shows only sports programs. The DIRECTV HD Receiver generates the list automatically based on the category information of each program identified in the APG.

The guide screen also provides two search menus:

Category Searches for programs that belong to a given category. The DIRECTV HD Receiver first shows you currently applicable categories and allows you to search for programs in that category.

Keyword Searches for programs that have or are related to a specific keyword. You can choose a keyword for program titles or credit titles (for example, actor/actress, director, writer, awards, etc.).

When accessing an on-screen guide, you will always return to the guide menu, one of the five channel lists or one of the two search menus, that you have previously viewed.
