Use the “Search for Shows” option to find programs based on Title,
Person, Channel or Keyword. This powerful tool finds all programs
that match your criterion within the 14-day program guide as well as
the DIRECTV on DEMAND service (if you are connected to your home
network).
To start your search, press MENU on your remote, select “Search for
Shows”, and then select the search type: “Title”, “Person”,“Channel”,
“Keyword” or “Recent Searches.”
Using the on-screen keypad, enter one letter at a time by highlighting the
letter you want and pressing SELECT. Select DEL (Delete) to get rid of the
last letter or CLR (Clear) to start over if you make a mistake. You do not
have to enter the initial article like “The” or “An.” Each time you enter a
letter, the search becomes more precise. You don’t always have to enter
the complete word. Just the first few letters will usually get you close
enough.
If you select “Title”:
Use the on-screen keypad to type in the first 3-4 characters of your title.
A list of all movie and show titles matching your search term will display.
If a program is being broadcast on more than one channel, a folder icon
will display next to the title. DIRECTV on DEMAND titles have a VOD icon
next to them. Highlight a title and press SELECT for program info and
recording and other options.
