PreSelecting Programs for
Taping
Canceling a scheduled program will also remove the check mark or videotape
icon preceding the program title on the on-screen guide.
If the program is currently airing, you will need to delete the event from the
SCHEDULER screen accessed from the MAIN MENU.
Buy
Buy is used for pay per view programming. The price of the event is displayed
under the title of the selected program. After highlighting the button and
pressing , you will be given the opportunity to confirm your purchase.
If you are not authorized to make the purchase directly from the digital satellite
receiver, you will need to contact DIRECTV for assistance.
Buy Options
The Buy Options button is similar to the Buy button. This button will initiate a
drop-down menu with three purchase options: View, Tape, and Don't Purchase.
The View price indicates the cost to view the program only. A purchase of this
type excludes the possibility of taping the event for later viewing.
The Tape price indicates the cost to record the event for later viewing. Of
course, you can also view the event when it airs if you select this option.
After choosing either View or Tape, you may either confirm or cancel the
purchase.
If neither purchase option is of interest to you, highlight Don't Purchase and
press .
Cancel Purchase
Some events may allow cancellation after they have been purchased, depending
on the event type, and whether the event has been viewed. Unviewed purchases
can usually be canceled. If the Cancel Purchase button is displayed, you are
allowed to cancel the previous purchase. If this button is not offered, then most
likely a portion of the event has already been viewed, committing you to the
purchase.
PreSelect permits you to select viewing choices in advance to avoid missing
them. Using PreSelect, your digital satellite receiver will automatically change
channels according to your selections and control your VCR for unattended
recording.
To PreSelect a program, find an upcoming program you wish to watch and press
the SELECT button.
Programs that have been scheduled to be taped are identified with a videotape
icon ( ) before the program title on the on-screen guide. If you do not want to
have the PreSelected program recorded, press the SELECT button again to
change the setting to be automatically tuned to for viewing.
When using the Schedule To Tape feature the following steps must be completed
for the digital satellite receiver to perform unattended recording:
1. Attach the VCR Control cable (refer to page XX).
2. Use the VCR SETUP screen.
