Customizing the Guide
Guide Options
. By customizing the guide, you can choose to use either the Grid Guide or
the List Guide. You can also change the day and time displayed, select a channel list, and
set the guide to filter program information by category. To customize the guide, press
GUIDE to make it visible, then press INFO to see Guide Options. Highlight an option and
then change it with the LEFT and RIGHT arrows. Save your changes by pressing INFO
again or GUIDE. To discard your changes, press EXIT.
•
Channels
. Select a channel list to use in the guide (“All,” “Channels You Receive,” or
“Favorite Channels”). The default, “All,” displays all of the DIRECTV
channels. If
you have customized the Channels You Receive list in My Preferences to include only
channels you receive, you can select “You Receive” on this screen to show only
channels you receive in the guide. Similarly, if you have customized the “Favorite
Channels” list, the guide will only show channels in that list.
•
Day and Time
. Use the LEFT and RIGHT arrows to change the day or time displayed
in the guide.
•
Style
. Change the style of the guide to Grid Guide or List Guide.
•
Filtering
. Turn guide filtering on or off.
•
Choose filter
. Choose a category with which to filter the guide. When filtering is on,
programs that do not fit the selected category appear grayed on the guide until you
highlight them. In addition, if a channel has no programs in the selected category
within six hours of the time on the guide, the Grid Guide will not show that channel.
By customizing the guide, you can
use it to display only program
information you want to see. For example,
you can use the movie filter to quickly
check what movies are on, or use the
“Favorite Channels” list to see
information for your previously selected
channels.
