When there is empty space in the Now Playing List, the DVR service may record TiVo
Suggestions for you. Suggestions are marked in the Now Playing List with a TiVo icon
). The DVR never deletes a program you requested to make room for a suggestion.
Instead, suggestions are deleted to make room for recordings you schedule. A preference
that prevents TiVo Suggestions from recording automatically is described on page 97.
TiVo Suggestions that have been recorded once will not record again for at least 28 days.
Showcases
Looking for the biggest shows on TV? Showcases are your shortcut to the most exciting
events and the best movies. Whether you’re looking for a hit comedy or want to get the
most from your subscription to the premium channels, Showcases offer you a quick,
interactive way to get what you want. You’ll always find something fun and unusual in
the TiVolution Magazine Showcase. Showcases are updated several times weekly during
the DVR’s daily phone call.
To explore Showcases and schedule recordings:
1. Press the DIRECTV button to see DIRECTV Central.
2. Select Showcases. A collection of Showcases appears.
3. All of the showcases may not fit on the screen. You can use the CHAN DOWN button
to see showcases that are not visible at first. Each showcase is represented by a
graphic. A white box appears around the highlighted showcase and a graphic displays
at the top of the screen. Use the navigation buttons, RIGHT, LEFT, UP and DOWN, to
highlight the showcase you want and then press SELECT. A list of themes in that
Showcase appears.

Messages from DIRECTV
From time to time DIRECTV may send you messages about updates to your service and
other important notices. These messages are important, useful and easy to get to—we
made them that way because we really want you to read them. When you receive a new
message, a message icon (
) appears on the channel banner and in DIRECTV
Central.
To read a message:
1. From DIRECTV Central, select “Messages and Setup.”
2. Select “Messages.”
3. Select the message you want to read.
Use the CHAN DOWN button to see text that does not fit on the screen. When you are
finished reading a message, select “Done” or “Delete Message.”
Selecting the message icon in the channel banner will take you to your list of messages.
The message list will display No Messages if there are no messages to read.

Purchases
To see the Purchases screen, first press the DIRECTV Button, then Messages and Setup,
then select “Purchases.” The Purchases screen displays a list of all pay per view programs
you have purchased, along with their date and time. Each program in the list is also
marked either “Upcoming,” “Purchased,” “Canceled,” or “Unviewed.”
•
Upcoming. These programs are scheduled to be purchased but have not aired yet. You
have not yet been charged for them. You can cancel upcoming purchases by selecting
them. The Purchase Info screen, described below, will appear.
•
Purchased. These programs have been viewed. You were charged for them.
•
Canceled. Purchase of these programs was canceled before the programs aired. You
were not charged for them.
•
Unviewed. These programs were scheduled to be purchased but were not viewed and
not recorded. You were not charged for them.
Purchase Info. The Purchase Info screen shows a selected pay per view event’s date,
time, channel and purchase price. You can cancel upcoming purchases on this screen.
Canceling a scheduled pay per view recording in another place—for example, the To Do
List—does not cancel the purchase. You must cancel the purchase from the Purchases
screen. To see Purchase Info, highlight a program and press SELECT.
To cancel an upcoming purchase:
•
On the Purchases screen, highlight an upcoming purchase and press SELECT. The

Pay Per View
will be required to purchase it.
Your DIRECTV® DVR makes buying and recording pay per view events a snap. You can
order them when they are promoted on live TV, or during a search for programs. You can
order them to watch, or to be recorded. And the whole transaction can be handled using
your remote control.
The Purchases screen keeps a record of all your pay per view purchases. You can also go
to the Purchases screen to cancel purchases of pay per view events that have not yet aired.
Ordering from live TV. While watching live TV, you may see a promotion for a pay per
view event, including instructions to press SELECT for ordering information. If you press
SELECT, you will see the Program Information screen for pay per view.
If the promotion happens when you are not caught up to live TV, a small message that
says “Press Select” and “Next Showing” will appear. If you press SELECT, you will see
the Program Information screen for pay per view. If you don’t want the program, you can
press EXIT to remove the message.
Program Information for Pay Per View. When you order a pay per view event from live
TV, or select a pay per view event in Pick Programs to Record or the Program Guide, you
see the Program Information screen for pay per view. Options on the Program Information
screen vary, depending on whether the event selected is currently showing, is already
scheduled to record, or is currently available to be purchased through the DVR. Though
some events have dedicated channels that allow ordering more than 24 hours in advance,
86
P u r c h a s e s
you usually cannot use the DVR to purchase a pay per view event more than 24 hours
before the event airs. Recorded pay per view programs are marked “Save Until I Delete”
(the green icon) by default. That way your recorded movies are saved until you manually
delete them from the Now Playing screen.
•
Purchase & record info. If the DVR does not have purchase information (such as the
price of the pay per view event) immediately available, it can do a short check for it. If
the DVR gets purchase information, the event will become available to purchase and
record. To check for purchase information the DVR must briefly tune to a special
channel. If you are recording a program, checking for pricing information this way
may create a short skip in the recording. The skip is usually less than two seconds but
may be up to ten seconds long. The DVR provides a confirmation screen so you can
avoid such a skip by choosing not to check for purchase information.
If the DVR finds purchase information by tuning away, the pay per view screen will be
refreshed with the new information and you will have the option to purchase the
program. If the DVR cannot find purchase information, you will be informed that
purchase information is not available.
•
Buy and record. When you select this option, the pay per view event is purchased and
a recording of it is scheduled on the To Do List. A verification screen appears
describing any scheduling conflicts. If you verify that you want to buy and record the
event, a second screen confirms the purchase. You can select “Options,” to the right of
“Buy and record,” to change Recording Options for the pay per view event.

them to make the DVR work more to your liking.
Customize Channels
What are channel lists for? Features such as Search by Title and Search Using WishLists
only look at programs available on channels selected in the Channels You Receive list.
Your DVR also uses lists of channels to decide which channels the List Guide displays
and which channels to search in Browse by Channel.
There are two selections available in Customize Channels:
Channels You Receive. The Channels You Receive list starts with all DIRECTV®
channels. It can be customized to include only channels you actually subscribe to and
to reflect your viewing preferences (for example: if you never watch a channel and
don’t plan to set up any recordings on it, or let the DVR service search for programs on
it, you can de-select it here).
Favorites. The Favorites list is for channels you watch frequently. Include only a few
channels in this list, so that you can quickly look at what’s coming up on them.
To set up a custom channel list:
1. Select the Channels You Receive or Favorite Channels list. A check mark appears to
the left of channels that are part of the selected list.
2. To remove or add a channel, highlight it and press SELECT. (You can speed through
the list with the CHAN UP/DOWN. To go directly to a specific channel, press the
number buttons, then press ENTER/LAST.)

Wide Screen
This screen lets you choose one of two settings, the default Standard Screen–4:3 or Wide
Screen–16:9. If you have a normal television, you should leave this setting at the default.
If you have a wide screen set, select “Wide Screen–16:9.” Doing this allows programs
transmitted in a wide screen format to fill the wider screen. If you are unsure of the correct
setting, leave it at the default Standard Screen–4:3. If this is the wrong setting for your
television, programs in wide screen format may appear 'squashed' horizontally—people
would seem very tall and thin.
Movies are generally made in a wider format than standard television images. Movie
images on television deal with the difference in one of the following three ways:
Standard or “Pan-and-Scan”. The edges of the movie are carefully edited to make it fit
the television format. This format is unaffected by the TV Aspect Ratio setting.
Letterbox. The full width of the movie image is displayed. On standard TVs, this leaves a
black margin on the top and bottom of the image. Some wide screen TVs can eliminate the
margins and make Letterbox fill the screen. (See the owner's manual for your wide screen
TV.) This format is unaffected by the TV Aspect Ratio setting.
Anamorphic. This method allows the DVR to choose how to display the image. If TV
Aspect Ratio is set to Wide Screen, the DVR displays a wide screen image. If TV Aspect

Satellite Dish Setup
If you have a loss of signal and wish to diagnose the problem, or you need to re-point your
satellite dish antenna, or if you add additional equipment, you can select “Satellite Dish
Setup” to reconfigure your satellite dish antenna setup.
Test Signal Strength. This screen shows approximate pointing information for your
satellite dish antenna. You can also use this screen to check the strength of the signal
received from each transponder on a selected satellite dish antenna. It shows you the
signal strength from individual transponders one at a time. To be sure you receive all of
your channels, you should check signal strength on all transponders.
A transponder is a piece of radio equipment on a satellite. The DIRECTV transponders
receive information from DIRECTV and rebroadcast it to your satellite dish antenna.
Different channels are rebroadcast by different transponders, and different satellites have
different numbers of transponders.
Note: You can check signal strength while you adjust the pointing of your satellite dish
antenna. The signal strength meter on this screen provides audio feedback—a tone that
becomes higher pitched as the signal gets stronger. You may be able to turn the volume on
your TV up so you can hear the tone while you adjust the position of your satellite dish
antenna. Alternatively, you might have someone watching the signal strength meter and

Phone Connection
The DVR makes a daily call to communicate with the DIRECTV® DVR with TiVo®
service, so a telephone line should be connected to it. The DVR occasionally makes a brief
phone call to get updates to the DVR service, Showcases, and pay per view functionality.
You can see details of the daily call on the Phone Connection screen, including the time of
the last successful call and last call attempt, and the status of the last call.
Below the call details are the menu options Change Dialing Options, Make Test Call and
Make Daily Call Now. If your area code has changed and/or you need to choose a
different dial-in number, you will need to change your dialing options. You should make a
test call after any changes to your dialing options.
Make Test Call. After selecting Make Test Call, the Test Phone Connection screen will
display and the call will start automatically. When the call has finished, press SELECT to
continue.
Make Daily Call Now. Under normal use, you do not need to make the daily call manually.
However, for troubleshooting or other unusual circumstances, you may wish to use this
option.
Your DVR should NOT be used with
any digital PBX phone system. For
more information, see page 3.
After you start the call, the status indicator reads “Starting Up.” The status will update as it
cycles through various states. You can watch TV and use your DVR while the call is in
progress. The DVR typically uses the phone for less than ten minutes during a daily call.

1. Select Set Dial-In Number on the Phone Dialing Options screen.
2. Use the number keypad on the remote to set the area code, then press SELECT. If you
changed the area code, or if the DVR has not made a daily call in the last twenty-four
hours, the Update Numbers screen appears and the DVR calls the DVR service. After
the phone call, press SELECT. The Dial-In Number screen appears.
3. Use the UP/DOWN arrow to choose one of the numbers on the Dial-In Number
screen. The DVR will use this number to access the DVR service. After you press
SELECT, the Dialing Format screen will appear.
•
If your area code has no access numbers, you can press the LEFT arrow to return to the
Area Code screen and try to enter a nearby area code.
•
If none of the numbers listed on the Dial-In Number screen are in your local calling
area, select “None of the Above.” The No Local Numbers screen will appear.
4. The No Local Numbers screen appears if you selected None of the above on the DialIn Numbers screen. Select Request 800 number authorization on the No Local
Numbers screen. This temporarily authorizes you to use the toll-free number and
submits a request to DIRECTV Customer Care. It is the current policy of DIRECTV to
allow you to use the toll-free number if there are no local numbers available.
DIRECTV will research available dial-in numbers at your location and send a message
to your DVR authorizing you to use the toll-free number, or suggesting a local
alternative.

5. The Dialing Format screen appears after you have chosen a dial-in number. You
should use this screen to tell the DVR which dialing format to use. For example,
should the dial-in number be preceded by your area code and should a “1” precede the
area code? In some areas, even local numbers must be dialed using the area code. Press
SELECT to return to the Phone Dialing Options screen.
6. To test your new dial-in number, select “Test Phone Connection Now.” The Test
Phone Connection screen appears and a test phone call begins. When the call
completes, you should see the message “Test Succeeded!” Press SELECT to return to
Phone Dialing Options. (If the phone call does not succeed, see troubleshooting on
page 132.)
Set Dial Prefix. You can use this screen to specify a prefix if the DVR needs to use one to
reach an outside line (for example, the DVR may need to dial “9” before it dials out). Use
the number keys on the remote control to enter the prefix. Press the PAUSE button after
you have entered the prefix. This will insert a comma, which will create a two second
pause after the prefix is dialed. If you make a mistake, use the BACK button to backspace.
Set Call Waiting Prefix. If you have call waiting, you may choose to disable it while the
DVR is making a call, so that the DVR’s phone call is not interrupted. If you do not
disable it, the DVR may drop the call and allow the second call to ring through, depending
on your phone system. The DVR will then try its call again later. The most common code
that phone companies use to disable call waiting is *70. Sometimes a comma is needed
(,*70). Check with your phone company to find out how to disable call waiting in your
area. If you make a mistake, use the BACK button to backspace.
Set Tone/Pulse. If your phone system uses pulse dialing, rather than tone dialing, you can
change the setting here.

Set ‘Phone Avail.’ Detection. Off by default. When Set ‘Phone Avail.’ Detection is on,
the DVR determines whether the phone line is in use by detecting voltage on the line. This
allows it to avoid disrupting a call in progress (such as another modem call). However, if
you are experiencing “Failed, Line unavailable” errors, or if the DVR is not making daily
calls, you may have a low-voltage phone system that the DVR cannot detect. In this case,
try selecting “Off” for ‘Phone Avail.’ Detection.
With ‘Phone Avail.’ Detection turned off, the DVR must pick up the line to check for a
dial tone. If you are on the phone when the DVR tries to call, you may hear a click on the
line. If you have another modem call in progress (on your computer or other device), that
call may be disrupted if the DVR attempts to make a service call.
If you turn off ‘Phone Avail.’ Detection and you have a standard dial-tone, turn on Dial
Tone Detection (described next).
Set Dial Tone Detection. On by default. When this is on, the DVR checks for a dial tone
before dialing. If this is on and you have a non-standard dial tone (for example, an analog
PBX system), or a stuttering dial tone (as some voice messaging systems have), the DVR
will be unable to detect the dial tone and will not make its daily call.

Setting a Remote Address
If you have two DVRs in the same house, you may want to assign a remote address to each
remote control. This will prevent the crossing of signals between one DVR’s remote and
the other’s.
1. If the DVRs are both in the same room, cover the area around the shiny, dark plastic
window on the front of one DVR. You can use a dark piece of cloth, a magazine, or
anything thick and opaque. This prevents the DVR from receiving signals.
2. Point the remote control at the DVR for which you want to set the remote address.
Press the DIRECTV button, and select “Messages & Setup.” Select “System
Information,” and press the DOWN arrow until you see “Remote Address.”
3. Point the remote control away from the DVRs, and cover the front end of the remote
with your hand. Press and hold the PAUSE and DIRECTV buttons until the red light at
the end of the remote control comes on and stays on when you release them.
4. Point the remote control at the DVR for which you want to set the remote address, and
press the number “1.” Press the RIGHT arrow. On the screen, the “Remote Address”
changes to 1. Exit System Information by pressing the DIRECTV button.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 on the second DVR and its remote control, pressing the number 2 for
the second remote address.
The remote controls are now set to send signals exclusively to the DVR for which they are
addressed. You may want to label the remote controls so that you remember which DVR
they control. Addresses 1 to 9 are unique. 0 is a universal address, meaning it will try to
control any DVR that “hears” its signal.
If you do not exit system
information before you go to step
5, you may transmit information to the
original DVR and overwrite the first
address you entered.

Questions About Installation
I do not see the Welcome screen
If you do not see the Welcome screen, you may need to change channels or change the
video source your TV uses:
•
If you used coaxial RF cable
to connect your DVR to the TV, make sure
you’re viewing the same channel (3 or 4) that you selected using the switch on the
back of your DVR.
•
If you used Composite Video and L/R Audio cables
to connect your DVR,
make sure your TV is displaying the appropriate video source. You may need to use
the “INPUT,” “SOURCE,” or “TV/VIDEO” button on your TV or TV’s remote
control to change video sources. If you are having trouble changing the video source,
refer to the instructions that came with your TV.
•
If you did not connect the DVR directly to the TV but are instead passing the signal
through your VCR, make sure your VCR is displaying the appropriate video source.
You may need to use the “Input,” or “Source” button on your VCR or VCR’s remote
control. Also, some VCRs only pass the signal through when they are turned either on
or off. If you are having trouble displaying the correct video source, refer to the
instructions that came with your VCR.
•
If you are still having trouble, double-check your connections.

Questions About Live TV
(Including Satellite Signal)
During Satellite Guided Setup, the screen got stuck on the Satellite Info screen.
•
Press the DIRECTV button, then select “Messages and Setup,” then select “Recorder
& Phone Setup,” then “Satellite Dish Setup,” then choose “Reset Satellite
Information.” The screen will warn you not to proceed unless you have been instructed
to do so by a customer care representative. In this instance, it is safe to proceed past
this screen without consulting Customer Care.
How do I see what’s on TV on every channel?
•
From live TV, press the GUIDE button on the remote to display the program guide.
You can use the CHAN UP/DOWN button to scroll the list a page at a time and use the
FORWARD and BACK buttons to go forward and back in time.
How long can I pause live TV?
•
You can pause for up to 30 minutes on each tuner. After 30 minutes, the video will
start playing again, 30 minutes behind “real time.”
How far back can I rewind live TV?
•
120
The length of time you can rewind depends on how long you have been watching the
same channel. The recording starts over each time you change the channel, so if you
have just changed the channel, you won't be able to rewind very far (the green area on
the Status Bar will be very small). You can store up to 30 minutes of the current
channel. If you have been watching the same channel for more than 30 minutes, you
can rewind for up to 30 minutes. The same is true for two channels with dual tuner.

A b o u t
L i v e
T V
( I n c l u d i n g
S a t e l l i t e
S i g n a l )
Can I watch TV while a program is recording?
•
Yes, you can watch what is recording as it is being recorded. You can also watch any
program stored in the Now Playing List while another program is being recorded. If
you have dual tuner, you can record one program while watching another. See page 3
for information about Dual Tuner.
•
If you have an antenna or cable signal in addition to DIRECTV® service, you can
watch programs carried by that signal—without the DVR service—while your DVR is
in standby mode. For more information, see page 55.
After changing the channel, how do I rewind to what I was watching before?
•
You can only rewind Live TV to the point where you last changed the channel. When
you change the channel, you skip ahead to the current time on the new channel, and
start recording fresh, on that channel. If you are behind live TV and watching
something you still want to see, you shouldn’t change the channel. If you have Dual
Tuner, however, you can “surf ” two channels and the DVR saves up to 30 minutes of
each channel’s programming.
How do I know if I’m watching live or delayed TV?
•
Press PLAY to bring up the Status Bar. If the white line is at the right edge of the green
area, you are caught up to live TV. If the white line has green to the right of it, you are
watching delayed TV. To catch up to live TV, press the ADVANCE ( ) button.
When does the DVR get program data?
•
Your DVR downloads program guide data throughout the day from your satellite
connection. It takes a day or two for the DVR to get all of its guide data (up to 14 days)
after you have completed Guided Setup.
121
C h a p t e r
T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g
How do I get back to the last channel I was watching?
•
When watching live TV, typing a channel number jumps the DVR to that channel.
Press ENTER/LAST if you want to go back to the prior channel.
I can’t tune to one of my channels.
•
You may be using a channel list that does not include the channel you want. Use the
number buttons on the remote control to enter the channel number, then press the
ENTER button. For more information on using a channel list, see page 89.
•
The channel you want may be showing a program that exceeds a limit set with Parental
Controls. In this case, you will be able to tune to the channel, but will see only a black
screen with a notice that a limit has been exceeded. For more information, see page 90.
•
Check to make sure you subscribe to the channel you are trying to tune to. Tune to the
channel and read the message at the bottom of the screen.
I can’t use the Favorite Channels channel list.
122
•
The Favorite Channels list is empty until you put channels in it. For more information,
see page 89.
•
If category filtering of the guide is turned on, channels on your list of favorites may be
being filtered out. You can use the guide’s options to turn off filtering. See page 50.
