When you are done with Setup, press GUIDE and go 

to channel 2 to see if your off-air locals are now in the 

guide. They will have channel numbers like 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 

4-1, 5-1, etc. The name and number box on the left-

hand side of the guide will be darker than the satellite 

delivered channels. For a channel that has multiple 

versions (like channel 2-1, 2-2), the first is usually (but 

not always) HD and the second is SD. However, there 

is no hard and fast rule and often off-air HD channels 

carry mostly SD programs. In some markets, local 

broadcasters may provide more than two versions of 

a channel. You may want to edit your choices down by 

going to the Edit Off-Air Channels screen as explained 

above.

If you are also receiving DIRECTV-delivered locals you 

will see those channels in the guide as well. We always 

order them with HD at the top, then SD. They will not have 

dashes in the channel numbers and the name and number 

box in the left-hand side of the guide will be the brighter 

DIRECTV blue.

The HD channel will have the 4-letter call sign of the 

station (KTLA in this example), while the SD channel will 

just have a two-letter city abbreviation and a one or two 

digit channel number (“LA5” in this example).

You are now ready to view your local off-air channels 

as you can with any of your DIRECTV-delivered satellite 

channels! 

NOTE:  You must subscribe to HD Access in order for the 

DIRECTV USB OFF-AIR TUNER to function.
