To see information about a program in the guide, point to the program and press INFO.
Then, you can select:
• Tune Program to tune to that channel
• Record Program to record the program.
• Remind Me to set up a Watch Timer, which will display a prompt when the program is about
to begin. If you aren’t already tuned to the correct channel when the program begins, the
Watch Timer will tune to the correct channel for you.
• Showings to see what other times the program is available.

The options available to you may vary according to the type of program you select.
Tip
For information on tuning to a PPV program, see page 27.
Tip
Your digital satellite receiver can store up to seven days of
information, so retrieving data can take a little time.
It can take up to 12 hours to download all seven days of
information when turning the system on after the Guide
information has been lost.
More Details
There’s a variety of program information sent along with standard broadcast signals, and your digital satellite receiver can display much of it (if
available).
The More Details menu can offer information (if available) about Actors and Roles, the Director, the Writer, Original Materials, the Production Studio,
Awards, Keywords associated with the program, and the original release Date and Run Length. Just use the remote control’s arrow and SELECT buttons
to highlight and select the desired button, and to display more information.
You can even use the displayed information in the More Details menu to look for matching information in the stored guide programs, or to create
search criteria for use with the Scout™ search feature of your digital satellite receiver.
