Chapter 3: Watching TV
Finding out what’s on: the Guides
Your DIRECTV Receiver provides access to detailed information about TV schedules.
If you want to know what’s on, just use the Guide.
There are several types of Guides you can access, each suited to a particular set of
needs and preferences.
Types of Guides
When you want to find out what’s on, you can use the simple, fast Quick 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.
Quick Guide
The Quick 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.
Logo Guide
The Logo Guide lets you find out what’s on by
browsing through the channels by highlighting
the channels’ logos — perfect for those of us
who prefer pictures to text.
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.
