Channel Banner appears.

then press the SELECT button. The list of audio formats
disappears and the program audio is now played in the
format you selected.
Pay per view programs
Your DIRECTV Receiver gives you access to many pay per view movies, sporting events,
concerts, etc. All you need to order these events is your DIRECTV account, a land-based
telephone line connected to your DIRECTV Receiver, and your remote control.
Identifying pay per view programs
There are several ways to identify pay per view programs.
1
If you tune to a channel currently showing a pay per view
program which you have not yet purchased, a message
appears telling you how to order the program.
2
If you press the INFO button on your remote control to view information about a program in
the Guide or about a program you are currently tuned to, you will see the pay per view icon
in the Channel Banner for that program.
