Finding out what’s on: the Program Guides
Your DIRECTV
®
HD Receiver provides access to detailed information about TV schedules. If you
want to know what’s on, just use the Guide. The Guides provide scheduling information for all
types of programming (satellite, off-air, or cable TV).
Types of Guides
When you want to nd out what’s on, you can use the simple, fast Surf Guide; the detailed,
informative Grid Guide; or the graphics-rich Logo Guide. The pages that follow tell you how to
access and use each of these Guide types.
Surf Guide
The Surf Guide allows you to quickly scan to see what is on right now while
still viewing the channel you are watching—great for those times when you just
want to quickly check out what’s showing on that favorite channel.
Grid Guide
The Grid Guide is the most complete, detailed Guide type. It lets you see the
programs for each channel in a scrollable schedule (sorted by channel number,
or by channel name). If you don’t know what you want to watch, and you want
to browse a broad range of channels, the Grid Guide may be for you.
Logo Guide
The Logo Guide lets you nd out what’s on by browsing through the channels
by highlighting the channels’ logos.
