Your Questions About Direct Tv Channel Guide

Nagesh answers:

It’s a pain. I’ve had DirecTV for over 10 yrs, never been able to scroll back even a half-hour.

Go to DirecTV.com and go to their TV listings there. You can scroll back a few hours, AFAIK.

Don’t listen to all these people, they probably have different channel numbers than you. Ask your parents or look at the television guide to find out what channel CBS is on. Have fun! I know I love Justin Bieber too 🙂

Preview the guide. The DirecTV guide lists all of the shows available for you to watch. You can preview movie listings up to nearly 2 weeks in advance. The shows are listed in the order of the stations, and you can use the buttons on the systems’ remote to move forward on the guide. To move through the guide 30 minutes at a time, press the “Forward” arrow on the remote. To scroll through the guide in 12-hour increments, press the green button to go forward and the red button to go backward.

Search for a specific show. If you would like to search for a show and don’t know what channel or time it comes on, use the search menu. Press the “MENU” button near the center of your DirecTV remote control. From the menu, choose “Search for Shows” and press the “Select” button. From there, you can search by Title, Person, Channel or Keyword. You can also use the “Review recent searches” option to locate a show you have already searched. When you are searching by title, simply use your controller to input the letters and choose the show from the list.

Record a show. To choose the show you would like to record, highlight it using the cursor arrows on your remote and press the “Select” button. You will then see three options on the menu: “Record once,” “Rec. Series” and “Episodes.” If you would like to record the show only one time, highlight the “Record Once” option and press the “Select” button. From there, you can choose the start and stop time and complete your recording options.

Record a series. Select the “Rec. Series” option, then choose from the format list, which includes “Episode type,” “Keep at most,” “Keep until,” “Start” and “Stop.” Once everything is set, highlight the “Record Series” button and press “Select” on your remote. If the show you would like to record is already playing, press the “R” button on your controller and it will set it to record. If you press the button twice, the series will be recorded.

Watch the recorded show. To access the shows you have recorded using your DirecTV DVR, press the “List” button on your remote control. “My Playlist” will open, and you will see a list of all of the shows you have already recorded. If there is more than one episode of a show, they will be located in a folder that is labeled with the show name. You can open the folder by highlighting it and pressing the “Select” button. From there, you can select the episode you would like to watch, preview its running date and show information, and elect to play or delete it.

Hope this helps

No i belive they are mostly all in HD.. What you watch is the actuall broadcast from whatever channel the game is on in their home area.. (if your lucky they have both home and away comentary but this is not always the case) so if the channel showing it is HD.. Then you see HD.. And what game is on what channel just depends on who all is playing that day… So they can put a HD symbol up perminitly if its not always true.. The one you see with HD isnt even games its on the fly
