Questions About Pick Programs to Record

There are very few or no shows listed when I press GUIDE or look for programs to
record. I can’t find my program in the listings, although I know it's on.

Your recorder may not have all its program guide data yet. When you first begin to use

your recorder, it begins to download guide information from the DIRECTV satellites.

It takes a day or two before complete information (up to 14 days) is available for you

to use. If you cannot find a specific show that you know is on, information for that

show may not have been downloaded and indexed yet. Wait a few hours and then try

to find your program again.

The guide may be using a channel list that does not include the channel you are

looking for. You can change the channels in a channel list, and change the channel list

that the guide uses. See page 36.

What do the different icons on the Now Playing List screen mean?

For a description of each icon’s meaning, see the Glossary of Icons on the inside back

cover of this guide.

Can I record multiple programs simultaneously?

It depends on how many satellite Inputs you have connected to your recorder. With

one input, you can only record one program at a time. With two inputs, you can utilize

the dual tuner and record 2 programs at the same time, or record one program while

watching another.
