How to Delete the History on Direct TV

The DirecTV DVR allows you to record shows.

The DirecTV DVR keeps a history of all the programs that you record or purchase using the DirecTV network. The list makes it easy for you to go back and see what programs you have seen in the past. If you prefer not to have the history saved on the DVR, you have to reset the device. However, resetting the DVR not only erases the history, but it also deletes all of the system information and settings, such as the Favorite Channels list.

Instructions

1. Press the DirecTV button at the top of the DirecTV remote control. The DirecTV Central screen appears on your television. Press the "Arrow" buttons to scroll through the system options and press the "Select" button to choose an option.

2. Scroll though the options and select "Messages & Setup."

3. Select "Restart or Reset System," and then select "Clear and Delete Everything."

4. Press the "Thumbs Down" button on the remote control three times to confirm that you want to reset the DVR, and then press the "Enter" button. It may take more than an hour for the DirecTV DVR to reset.
