USING THE PROGRAM GUIDES

USING THE GUIDE BUTTON

Each press of the GUIDE button on the remote control takes you to an alternate type of
TV or DIRECTV

programming guide: Detail Guide, SurfGuide (DIRECTV only), or

Grid Guide.

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 or SurfGuide
(DIRECTV only). Select Preferences from the Main menu. Select Default Guide. Use the
arrows and OK to choose the guide you want to appear first when you press GUIDE. If
SurfGuide is selected as the default guide, the Grid Guide will appear when you access the
TV program guide, since SurfGuide isn’t available as a TV program guide.

The Detail Guide

The Detail Guide shows five channels in a time-and-channel format, with program
information for the highlighted program at the top of the guide.

The SurfGuide (DIRECTV only)

The SurfGuide displays seven DIRECTV channels in a half-hour time-and-channel
format, if you subscribe to DIRECTV

programming. The full name of the program and

its rating are listed at the bottom of the screen. Press the right arrow button to extend the
SurfGuide to show the next two hours.

The Grid Guide

The Grid Guide shows seven channels in a time-and-channel format, with the full title of
the highlighted program at the top of the guide.

The Other Guides Icon

Besides the Detail Guide, Grid Guide, and SurfGuide, there are a few more DIRECTV

programming guide formats you can access. The Other Guides icon at the bottom of the
TV and DIRECTV

programming guides lets you sort the guides by different variables,

such as by channels, data, channel lists, and channel groups.

You can access these guides by selecting the Other Guides icon at the bottom of the Detail
Guide and Grid Guide.
