7. ADVANCED PROGRAM GUIDE

7-4. Selecting a Program

The top region of the guide screen displays the schedule and program information of the currently highlighted program. You can also see other detailed information about the program by pressing the Display button.

When you select the highlighted program by pressing “ ”, what happens or appears next depends on whether the highlighted program is currently on-air or scheduled in the future, and whether or not it is a pay per view program.

Current / not PPV

If the selected program is a current free-of-charge program, you will directly tune to the program.

Future / not PPV

If the selected program is scheduled in the future and is not a PPV, you will be offered a dialog box that enables you to reserve this program for watching. If you select Remind in the dialog box, this program is put on the Remind List and you will be reminded by a message at the top- left corner of the screen 10 seconds before its airing time.

Current / DIRECTV® Pay Per View

If the selected program is a current pay per view program, you will be asked if you want to purchase this program.

Future / DIRECTV® Pay Per View

If the selected program is a pay per view program scheduled in the future, you will also be asked if you want to purchase this program. Once you confirm the purchase, this program is put on the Future Purchase list. You can view the Future Purchase list from the menu sequence Menu ➝ DIRECTV ➝ Future Purchase and cancel any purchase on the list anytime before its airing time.

A continuous connection to a land-based phone line is required to perform this function with your remote control.

(Note: Pay per view programs can only be purchased with the 24 hours of the program times.)
