Messages
The Messages menu lets you access messages or phone calls. If you select
Mail, 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).
There are two ways to tell if you have mail, depending on whether the
digital satellite receiver is turned on or off.
•
If the digital satellite receiver is turned on, the mail icon in the
channel banner is highlighted.
•
If the digital satellite receiver is turned off, the light on the front
panel of the receiver flashes.
Checking Your Mail
Select Messages from the Main menu, then Mail from the next menu. Or
select the envelope icon on the channel banner to view your mail.
