How to Find a Program Using DIRECTV Plus DVR

DIRECTV offers a lot of different options for TV viewers, but those new to the advanced technology may be lost before they even turn on their TV. Instead of spending hours and hours searching through channels and written guides to find a program you are looking for, you can use DIRECTV’s guide to help with the situation.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Turn on your DIRECTV receiver and have your DIRECTV remote handy.
2. If you want to browse through the guide to see current and upcoming shows, then press the guide button located towards the middle of your remote.
3. The current show that you are watching will minimize up to the top right hand corner and the guide will be on the screen.
4. Use the black arrow buttons to scroll through the different channels and find television programs.
5. Press the Info button over a highlighted program to find out more detailed information about that program. Press info again to go back to the guide.
6. Press the Green button on the remote control to jump ahead 12 hours if you are looking for a show in the future. This is time saving and convenient, especially since the listings can go a week in advance.

8. Use the arrows to scroll through different shows and press select if you have found a show that you want to view.
