Program Guide
The most powerful feature of the HD receiver is the DIRECTV Advanced Program Guide™. You
may customize the on-screen guide to list only channels or programs of interest to you. Other
advanced features available from the on-screen guides, such as scheduling and program
information, will help plan your viewing. Continue reading to learn the real power of the HD
receiver’s on-screen guides or Advanced Program Guide™. At any time you can press the
key to display the current on-screen guide.
This HD receiver offers a variety of on-screen guides. Each guide has its own design to make
finding programs of interest an easy task. These guides include the PROGRAM GUIDE (SM.
CELL), PROGRAM GUIDE (LG. CELL), and LOGO GUIDE.
Each guide can be filtered into smaller channel groupings, as specified in your personalized
favorite Channel Lists. You can also reduce the displayed listing by specifying a Theme of
interest, and then narrow the offerings further by specifying a type within the Theme. Additional
settings, such as Guide Times and Channel List, may be specified to determine the guide content.
A full description of the filtering options can be found later in this chapter.
Note: Most Program Guide features will not be available if the HD Receiver is
used without a satellite connection.
