Welcome! Now that you’re plugged in, it’s time to start enjoying access to over 285 channels of TV programming, including satellite music
channels, and an extensive Pay Per View selection. We’ll take you step by step through everything from pushing the POWER button
to searching for and finding your favorite programs. If you want a quick overview of your system, read Chapter 1, Quick Start. Detailed
information starts in Chapter 2. This user guide applies to the DIRECTV
®
HD Receiver and the DIRECTV Receiver. Because this user guide
was designed to accommodate several models, your receiver and its user interface may vary slightly from what is shown here.
Getting Connected
If a professional installed your DIRECTV
®
Receiver, you are ready to start watching TV. If your receiver was not professionally installed or
you just added a surround sound system or other equipment, please see Chapter 3: Connections for TV and Auxiliary Equipment.
