The Messages menu lets you access messages or phone calls. If you
select
, it shows you messages that are sent from DIRECTV. For
example, you may receive a message calling your attention to a new
service. If you select
Caller ID
, this menu shows you Caller ID
information from your telephone provider (if you subscribe to Caller ID
service).

If the digital satellite receiver is turned off, the light on the front
panel of the receiver flashes.
