Questions About Pick Programs to Record

There are very few or no shows listed when I press GUIDE or look for programs to record. I can't find my program in
the listings, although I know it's on.
• Your DVR may not have all its program guide data yet. When you first begin to use your DVR, it begins to download guide
information from the DIRECTV satellites. It takes a day or two before complete information (up to 14 days) is available for you to
use. If you cannot find a specific show that you know is on, information for that show may not have been downloaded yet. Wait a
few hours and then try to find your program again.
• The guide may be using a channel list that does not include the channel you are looking for. You can change the channels in a
channel list, and change the channel list that the guide uses. See page 48.
What do the different icons on the Now Playing List screen mean?
• For a description of each icon's meaning, see the Glossary of Icons on the inside back cover of this guide.
Can I record multiple programs simultaneously?
• It depends on how many satellite inputs you connected to your DVR. With one input, you can only record one program at a time.
With two inputs, you have Dual Tuner and can record 2 programs at the same time, or record one program while watching another.
Can I recover a recorded program that was deleted? How can I save a program longer?
• Unfortunately, there is no way to bring back a program that has been deleted from the Now Playing List. You can, however, choose
to save programs longer. From the Now Playing List, highlight the program you wish to save longer and press SELECT to display
the Program Information screen. Here you can choose "Keep until I delete," or choose "Keep Until..." to set the number of days
before a program may be deleted.
• Be sure also that you pay attention to conflicts. You may choose not to approve any conflict that says it will delete a program sooner
than you want.
• If the program was a Season Pass, you may have too many Season Pass items. In order to accommodate all of your Season Pass
requests, programs may occasionally be saved for as little as one day. Try deleting some Season Pass requests.
