This chapter will reveal many different ways to find the programs you want to watch. The first thing
you should know is that channels in the DIRECTV System world are arranged differently than on
conventional TV channels. Channel numbers range from 100 to 999.

Basic Channel Changing

There are many ways to “surf” through the available programming. Anyone who has ever used a
remote control TV already knows at least two ways to change channels. The first of these is by using
the 

 and 

 keys. Each key press takes you to the next available channel in the direction that you

selected. The second way is to enter the number of the desired channel. For example, to go to the
Direct Ticket movie previews, simply press 

. Or to watch the USSB preview channel, press

. You can enter the number for any channel you wish.

The Channel Banner

 XE "Channel Banner"

Every time you tune to a channel, a banner will be displayed at the top of the

screen. You can also display the 

Channel Banner

 any time by

pressing the

 will remove the banner

immediately.

This banner contains information about the program, including the
