BASIC TV OPERATION

Changing Channels

To change channels by entering numbers with the remote control, the remote needs to
be in the correct "mode": either DIRECTV mode (if you subscribe to DIRECTV) or TV
mode.
When you want to watch DIRECTV
put the remote in DIRECTV mode
1. Make sure you are in DIRECTV mode by pressing DIRECTV on the
remote control.
2. Enter the channel number and press OK. The channel numbers
are three or four digits long. Note that you do not have to press
OK after you enter a four-digit channel number. If you do not
enter at least three digits, "???" will appear in the channel entry
box, and the system will wait for a valid entry.
When you want to watch a digital or analog TV
channel, put the remote in TV mode
If you want to watch a digital channel:
1. Make sure you are in TV mode by pressing TV on the remote
control.
2. Enter the primary channel number. This number will appear in
the primary channel entry box. If there is no subchannel,
press OK.
3. If the primary channel number has fewer than three digits and
you want to enter subchannel numbers, press the right arrow to
advance to the subchannel entry box.
4. Enter the number of the subchannel. This number will appear in
the subchannel entry box.
5. Press OK on the remote control to tune to the channel.
If you want to watch an analog channel:
