7. ADVANCED PROGRAM GUIDE
The DIRECTV Advanced Program Guide
(APG), contains schedule and program information for
all DIRECTV
®
channels. The APG also provides local over-the-air channels information including
both conventional analog and digital channels if you receive satellite service.
Helping you to find a program easily and conveniently, the APG allows you to view schedule and
descriptive program information for the channels. The receiver offers five different channel lists:
ALL, CUSTOM, SURF, MOVIES and SPORTS. You may edit the CUSTOM and SURF channel lists
to customize and design your favorite channels, respectively. In addition, you can easily find spe-
cific programs by using the CATEGORY search of KEYWORD search functions. An explanation of
each channel list is described in Section 7-2.
You can bring up the APG in two ways and exit from it in three ways.
To bring up the APG:
- Press the
Guide
button on your remote control.
or
- Press the
Menu
button on the remote control and select the DIRECTV menu. Several options
will appear. Choose the Guide option (MENU
➝
DIRECTV
➝
Guide)
To exit the APG:
- Press the
Exit
button to return to the last channel you were tuned to.
or
- Press the
Guide
button on the remote control twice when a program or channel is highlighted.
The first press moves the highlight to the Guide menu at the far left. Pressing the button a sec-
ond time makes the APG disappear.
or

screen disappear and tune to that channel.
