The Channel Banner
The channel banner appears whenever you do one of the following:
• Tune to a channel.
• Press the remote control's INFO, DIRECTV, or GO BACK buttons while watching programming.
• Press UP, DOWN, or INFO on the satellite receiver's front panel.
• Exit the on-screen menu system (except when you press the CLEAR button on your remote control).
The size of the banner depends on your choice in the Channel Banner Size control panel. The medium channel banner is shown on the next page. The
full banner (the medium banner, plus a description of the program you're watching if one's available) appears when you press INFO, regardless of your
choice in the Channel Banner Size control panel.
On-screen icons represent frequently-used menu items. Some icons also change appearance to show the item's status. Use the arrow buttons and
SELECT to choose an icon.
