The DIRECTV INTERACTIVE™ Feature
Your digital satellite receiver includes DIRECTV INTERACTIVE, powered by Wink Communications®, a free service that gives
you the opportunity to interact with TV programming and advertising. You can use your remote control to get program-
related information, respond to free offers during commercials and even make purchases while you watch TV. To use this
feature, you must have your receiver plugged directly into a telephone outlet (or into a compatible wireless modem).
Whenever you see the DIRECTV INTERACTIVE icon (
) appear, press the SELECT/i button on the remote control to open the
interactive window.
To learn more about the DIRECTV INTERACTIVE service:
1. Press MENU on the remote control (the Main menu appears).
2. Use the arrow buttons on the remote control to highlight Interactive.
3. Press SELECT/i to tune directly to the DIRECTV INTERACTIVE Center (channel 499) to get more information about the
following: Getting Started, Interactive Channels, Shopping Sign Up, Order History, Messages, Help & Settings, and
About DIRECTV.
The Detail Guide
The Detail Guide shows six channels (four with the toolbar) in a time-and-channel format, with
program information for the highlighted program. A small window showing the program you
were watching before entering the program guides is displayed in the upper left hand corner
(you can preview other channels in the Detail Guide by highlighting channel numbers instead of
the program titles).
Notes: By default, the Detail Guide appears when you press GUIDE on the remote control. You can change the
default guide from the Detail Guide to the Grid Guide.
Select Personal Settings from the Main menu, then select the profile to be changed, then select Default Guide.
Use the remote control’s arrow buttons to highlight Grid Guide, then press the SELECT button to activate your
choice.
Displaying On-screen Guides
Each time you press the remote control’s GUIDE button, a different type of program guide appears:
The Grid Guide
The Grid Guide shows nine channels (seven with the toolbar) in a time-and-channel format. A
small window showing the program you were watching before entering the program guides is
displayed in the upper left hand corner (you can preview other channels in the Grid Guide by
highlighting channel numbers instead of the program titles).
