Channel Banner. When you change channels or press the RIGHT arrow while watching
live TV, the channel banner displays, then disappears after a few seconds. If you want the
channel banner to disappear quickly, select “Clear banner quickly.”
Channel Lists. With DIRECTV
®
service, your HD DVR receives information for all
channels available through DIRECTV. You may not subscribe to all of these channels, so
to make it easier for you to find and record programs on channels you do receive, you can
set up custom channel lists.
• Channels You Receive. Use the Channels You Receive list to select channels you
actually subscribe to, and that reflect your viewing preferences. For example, if you
never watch a channel and don’t want to record from it, uncheck it on Channels You
Receive. Features such as Search by Title and Search Using a WishList look for
programs only on channels you have selected in the Channels You Receive list.
• Favorite Channels. Use the Favorite Channels list for channels you watch frequently.
Include only a few channels in this list, so that you can quickly look at what’s coming
up on them using the program guide. See page 56 for information on customizing the
guide to show your Favorite Channels.
Use SELECT to check and uncheck channels in your lists. You can scroll through the list
using CHAN UP/DOWN. To go directly to a specific channel, press the number buttons,
then press ENTER/LAST. Your changes are saved automatically.
Channels marked with an asterisk (*) are off-air channels for which no guide information
is available. If these channels are added to the DIRECTV Advanced Program Guide
TM
(creating duplicates in your lists), you can identify channels to uncheck by the asterisk.
