7. ADVANCED PROGRAM GUIDE™

7-2. Layout of the Advanced Program Guide™ Screen

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 (see section 7-8).

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.) (see section 7-9).

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

NOTE

After first installing satellite service, it may take several

hours before all program information is fully available in

the Advanced Program Guide™.
