Your DIRECTV HD DVR supports these special features that can 

be accessed without going through a menu.

DIRECTV

®

 DOUBLEPLAY

™

With DoublePlay, you can easily switch between two programs 

on at the same time without missing a minute of either. Your 

HD DVR stores up to 90 minutes of live TV on two channels. If 

you tune to a new channel (a third channel), the saved portion 

on the original channel is cleared. DoublePlay expires after two 

hours of non-use.

  While watching one program, press the DOWN arrow on 

your remote. A message displays confirming  DoublePlay 

has started.

   Press the DOWN arrow again and tune to the second 

program.

  Now use the DOWN arrow to switch back and forth between 

the two programs.

  You can pause, rewind, fast forward, slow-mo or instant 

replay both.

NOTE:  You cannot fast forward during live TV until you pause 

or rewind a program.
