DIRECTV Channel Banner
The Channel Banner is available with DIRECTV
®
programming to show you which
channel and program you are currently viewing or have selected. The following figure
shows the DIRECTV channel banner. The DIRECTV channel banner description area
can be expanded, if the user presses the INFO key.
In addition to viewing the program description, the user can add or remove the
channel from the favorite channel list. This is accomplished by navigating left or right
and pressing the ACTION key.
Channel Banner: Favorite Channel List
The favorite channel list is a customized list that allows you to create your own unique
channel list. The favorite channel list is active when you select the “FAV CH” mode in
the guide screen. By default, the “ALL CH” mode is selected. Also, by default, both the
“ALL” mode and “FAV” modes default to all the channels selected in their lists.
When the description of the channel banner is expanded, the user now has the
opportunity to add or remove a channel from the favorite list. By default,
Delete from FAV button is highlighted when the Channel Banner is expanded. Once a
channel is removed from the favorite list, the user is required to numerically enter in
the channel number to view that channel, at which time the user can add the channel
back into the favorite channel list.
The following figure depicts the Channel Banner, when the Description area is
highlighted.
