Use the Overtime Scheduler
™
(and don’t miss overtime!):
Programs sometimes start
before they’re supposed to and often end later than scheduled. With Recording Options,
you can “pad” your recordings to account for variations by using the Overtime
Scheduler.
™
See page 62.
Use the EXIT button:
The EXIT button hides the status bar, guide, channel banner, and
anything else that is not part of the program.
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 of Satellite Dish Setup (described on page 25). With dual tuner you can
watch more of your favorite programs, even when they’re on at the same time.
The Star and the Clapboard:
You will occasionally see a yellow star ( ) on
DIRECTV Central. The star signals a new selection that may change the next time you
visit. Depending on the selection, it may allow you to record a program, watch a preview,
or go to a special Showcase. Don’t worry if you pass up a particular new selection; keep
going back to DIRECTV Central until it appears again.
The clapboard icon—on DIRECTV Central, or in a Showcase—indicates that a selection
includes a video preview. If the clapboard has a green triangle in it (
), you can press
PLAY to play the video. If there is no green triangle, the current selection takes you to
another screen where you’ll find the actual video clip.
