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 message.
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.
Channel Search
Engaging in a channel search tells the TV to search automatically for all
the terrestrial TV channels available through the antenna 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 the channel list.
The Channel Search screen lets you choose to do either a Full Search or a
Quick Search. A Full Search searches both Antenna A and B,
automatically detects whether you are using cable or an off-air antenna,
and may take many minutes. Quick Search searches only for channels on
the antenna you’re currently using and uses the current Air or Cable
setting. Quick Search is also completed faster than a Full Search and is
needed after you adjust a terrestrial antenna for optimum reception.
Running Channel Search collects all available TV channels
in a channel list.
You can also edit the TV channel list and
remove unwanted channels by using the
Profiles menu.
Another way to add TV channels is to
directly tune to them using the digit
buttons on the remote control. If the
system can obtain that channel’s signal, it
will be added into the channel list.
