Getting Around In the Guides
This section describes how to change channels and move around a program guide.
Digit Buttons (0–9)
You can point quickly to any channel in the program guide by entering the channel number with
the digit buttons (0–9). For example, to point to channel 228, press the digits 2-2-8, on the
remote control.
Scrolling Channel By Channel
The programs that you see on the TV screen make up one section—or page—of the total program
guide. You can scroll one line at a time using the arrows: point to other times with the left and
right arrows; point to other channels with the up and down arrows.
Scrolling Page By Page
If you want to scroll up or down through the program guide faster, press the CH buttons on the
remote control. The highlight scrolls a page at a time.
Scrolling Forward and Reverse
To scroll forward one page at a time, press the remote control’s PLAY button while in DIRECTV
mode. To go forward or reverse by a 6-hour block of time, use the FORWARD and REVERSE
buttons on the remote control.
Note: Your digital satellite receiver can store up to three days of programming information. Getting all this
information can take up to 6 hours to download.

Tip
For information on tuning to a PPV program, see page 27.
Tuning to a Program
To tune directly to a current program listed in the guide, point to the program and press SELECT.
To see information about a program in the guide, point to the program and press INFO.
Then, you can select:
• Tune Program to tune to that channel
• Remind Me to set up a Watch Timer, which will display a prompt when the program is about
to begin. If you aren’t already tuned to the correct channel when the program begins, the
Watch Timer will tune to the correct channel for you.
• Showings to see what other times the program is available.
• More Details opens another display with detailed information (if available).
The options available to you may vary according to the type of program you select.
