When you order programming, you need
to know your access card number. To get
the number, select
Options from the Main
menu, then
System Options, and then
select
System Test.
Wait for the system to run all of its tests.
The access card number is displayed at
the end of the system test.
Write the access card number in the space
below for easy reference:

Step 6: Using Point and Select
You only need to know one rule when using the remote to navigate on-
screen menus and control panels: point and select. Once you know how
to point and select you can complete the interactive setup (Step 7,
below) and explore the menu system.
To enter the menu system, press the DIRECTV button on the remote
control to make sure you’re in DIRECTV mode, then press MENU.
The point and select method has two steps.
1 .
Point
to a menu item using the arrows on the remote.
To point up or down, press the up or down arrows. To point left or
right, press the left or right arrows.
2 .
Select
a menu item by pressing MENU or OK.
Selecting an item tells the TV’s menu system to go ahead and make
the change or go to a place you have indicated.
Don’t worry about getting stuck inside a menu. Pressing the CLEAR
button on the remote control takes you out of the menu system and
back to the program you were watching.
Step 7: Interactive Setup
If you installed your satellite dish antenna yourself, you may have
already used the interactive setup to find the dish pointing coordinates,
acquire and fine-tune the signal, and run a system test.
If you need to run the interactive setup again, select
Options
from the
Main menu, then select
Interactive Setup
.
If you just want to check your dish pointing coordinates or run the signal
strength meter, select
Dish Pointing
from the Main menu.
Step 8: Order Programming
After you have installed your DIRECTV System, you should contact
DIRECTV in order to receive DIRECTV
®
