Cool Things You Can Do
Record two programs at the same time with Dual Tuner!
Your DIRECTV ® DVR has
two tuners—which means it can record programs on two channels at the same time. To
activate both tuners, both Satellite In jacks on the back of the DVR must be connected to
cables from your satellite dish antenna (or a multiswitch), and you must choose the “Two
cables” option in Satellite Dish Guided Setup (see page 22). With Dual Tuner you can
watch more of your favorite programs, even when they’re on at the same time.
Never be late for your favorite programs.
Working late? Stuck in traffic? Don’t worry. If

You can even start watching from the beginning while it finishes recording.

comes on for an upcoming program, you may see an Ipreview ® icon like this
one: Press THUMBS UP ™ while you see the icon to automatically set up a
recording for the program. You don’t have to remember when it’s on—it will be recorded!
(If you didn’t schedule a recording when you saw the icon, rewind until it’s visible again.)
