Sorting the DIRECTV
®
Programming Guide
Alphabetically
AlphaSort
™
lists all the program titles in the DIRECTV
®
programming guide in
alphabetical order. You can also find this icon in the channel banner. Select the AlphaSort
icon to search for specific program titles that are in the guide. After listing programs
whose first letter or number match your entry, AlphaSort lists programs in the current
DIRECTV programming guide that have your entry anywhere in the title.
In the AlphaSort menu, use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight a
character, then press OK.
For example, to search for the program Auto Racing, the first letter you should highlight
and select is “A.” (Words like “The”, “A”, and “An” appear at the end of a title.) All titles
that begin with “A” appear in the AlphaSort list. Next, enter the letter “U”. All titles
beginning with “AU” appear in the list. Programs that contain “AU” anywhere in their
titles will appear at the end of the list.
Finding DIRECTV Programs Using Scout
™
The Scout icon at the bottom of the DIRECTV
®
programming guide lets you assign
“Scouts” to search all DIRECTV programming guides (both current and future) for very
specific program title information.
To use Scout:
1.
Highlight the Scout icon in the program guide and select it.
2.
Highlight Scout 1-8 from the next screen and press OK. If you’re setting up a new
Scout, make sure to select a Scout
without
a check beside it, since the check means
you have already set up that Scout.
Select a Scout without a check to set up a new Scout.
