Use the EXIT button. The EXIT button hides the status bar, guide, channel banner, and
anything else that is not part of the program.
Record two programs at the same time with Dual Tuner! Dual tuner means your HD
DVR can record programs on two channels at the same time—two satellite channels, two
off-air channels, or one of each (depending on how you connected your HD DVR).
To enable dual tuner, both Satellite In jacks on the back of the HD DVR must be
connected to cables from your satellite dish antenna (or a multiswitch), and you must
choose the “Two cables” option in Guided Setup (described on page 23).
If you set up the HD DVR to receive off-air antenna broadcasts only (that is, you
connected an off-air antenna and you selected “Off-Air antenna only” during Guided
Setup), you will be able to watch programs from two antenna channels at the same time.
However, no recording is possible unless you activate the DVR service and connect a
satellite dish antenna.
The Star and the Clapboard. You will occasionally see a yellow star ( ) on
DIRECTV Central. The star signals a new selection that may change the next time you
visit. Depending on the selection, it may allow you to record a program, watch a preview,
or go to a special Showcase. Don’t worry if you pass up a particular new selection; keep
going back to DIRECTV Central until it appears again—or just go to Showcases and look
for the item you’re interested in.
The clapboard icon—on DIRECTV Central, or in Showcases—indicates that a selection
includes a video preview. If the clapboard has a green triangle in it (
), you can press
PLAY to play the video. If there is no green triangle, the current selection takes you to
another screen where you’ll find the actual video clip.
Dual tuner will not work if you only
connect one cable from your
satellite dish, even if you also connect an
off-air antenna.
