Finding the TV’s Video Line Input
Note: If your TV is connected with just coaxial cables, you only need to tune
to channel 3 or 4.
If you used audio/video cables to connect your TV to the digital satellite
receiver, you must tune your TV to the video input channel to view DIRECTV
®
programming and menus. There are just as many ways to access a TV’s video
input channel as there are brands and models of TVs. Below are some things
you can try.
• If your TV brand is RCA, GE, or PROSCAN, press TV on the remote control
that came with your digital satellite receiver. Then press the WHO•INPUT
button on the remote.
• If your TV brand is not RCA, GE, or PROSCAN, consult your TV Owner’s
Manual.
If you cannot find your TV Owner’s Manual, you will have to investigate. You
might access the TV’s video input channel by:
• pressing a button on the remote control
• finding it through the TV’s menu system
• tuning directly to it by pressing a specific channel number
• going through all channels in the list by pressing the channel up or down
buttons on the TV.
The box below lists of some of the different ways manufacturers label the video
input channel.
