SYSTEM OPTIONS AND PREFERENCES
CHANNEL SEARCH
Engaging in a channel search tells the TV to search automatically for all the TV channels
available through the Antenna A and B inputs. When the TV finds an active channel, it
places it in the channel list. Inactive channels (weak stations or channels with no signal at
all) will not be placed into the channel list.
•
Full Search
searching through all the TV channels (off-air and Cable) for both
antenna inputs (ANTENNA A and B).
•

ANTENNA (A or B).

Quick Search
Use Full Search the first time that
your system is setup. A Channel
Search will be performed for both
Antenna A and B and they will
automatically be set to Cable or Air.
Thereafter, use Quick Search. It
only searches the current antenna.
Quick Search is useful for adjusting
an over-the-air antenna to receive
the most channels for your area.
Running channel search collects all available
channels in a channel list.
MAILBOX
If you have ordered DIRECTV
®
programming, the mailbox shows you messages that are
sent—or “mailed”—from your program providers. For example, you may receive a
message calling your attention to a new service or special program offering. If you have
new or unread mail, the mail icon in the channel banner is highlighted.
Checking Your Mail
1. Select Mailbox from the System Options menu or the mail icon from the channel
banner to view your mail.
2. Highlight a message and press OK. The message opens for you to read.
2. Press OK again to close the letter.
3. If you want to erase a message, highlight Erase Message and press OK. When you exit
the display screen, messages not erased are saved in memory.

Please note that because channel
search will search for both digital
and analog TV channels on all
antenna inputs, the process may
take a few minutes.
