When I power on my TV, I see the message “Searching for satellite signal....”
Your DVR is having trouble tuning to the channel you are on. Follow these steps to restore
the video:
•
Try changing channels. If you see the same message on every channel, your video
cable may have come loose. Check to make sure all the cable connections on the back
of your DVR are secure.
•
If multiple channel changes do not work, try restarting your DVR. From DIRECTV
Central, choose “Messages & Setup,” then “Restart or Reset System,” then “Restart
the Recorder.” Follow the instructions on the screen to restart the DVR.
•
In unusual circumstances, stormy weather may interfere with your satellite signal. If
this is the case, the signal should return when the weather changes.
•
Try replacing your video cables to determine if one of your cables is bad.
•
The position of your satellite dish antenna may have changed and you may have to reposition it. Professional installers are available in most areas to position satellite
dishes. You can also find positioning information by repeating Satellite Dish Guided
Setup, available by pressing the DIRECTV button, then selecting “Messages & Setup”
and then “Recorder & Phone Setup.”
•
There may be an obstruction (for example, trees) between the satellite dish antenna
and the sky. If this is the case, you may have to change the position of your satellite
dish antenna.
The channel I want to watch has the message “This program is not available in your
area,” and the image is blacked out.
•
Some sports events may be blacked out in areas that are considered local areas for the
events.

Press the PAUSE button on the remote control, then press BACK to move back a
frame or two, then press PAUSE again to resume play.
•
Press the DIRECTV button; then press the LIVE TV button to return to live television.
•
Restart your DVR. From Messages & Setup select “Restart or Reset System,” then
“Restart the Recorder.” You will see the Welcome screen and the system will restart
within about 45 seconds.
My DVR was working, but now the picture does not move.
•
First, press PLAY to be sure the video is not paused.
•
Try to restart your DVR. From Messages & Setup select “Restart or Reset System,”
then “Restart the Recorder.” You will see the Welcome screen and the system will
restart within about 45 seconds.
I don’t get a picture now, even though I have been able to get one in the past.
124
•
Any time you have a problem with your system, you can run a system test. To run the
test, from Messages & Setup, select “System Test.” The system test checks the DVR’s
signal, tuning, access card and phone connection.
•
You may be able to fix the problem yourself. Try restarting the DVR: From Messages
& Setup select “Restart or Reset System,” then “Restart the Recorder.” If you cannot
fix the problem, call DIRECTV Customer Care at 1-800-DIRECTV
(1-800-347-3288).

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 and indexed 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 36.
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 have connected to your DVR. With one
input, you can only record one program at a time. With two inputs, you can utilize the
dual tuner and record 2 programs at the same time, or record one program while
watching another.
125
C h a p t e r
T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g
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 “Save until I delete,” or
choose “Save 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.
•
You can archive special recordings to a videotape to preserve them longer. From the
Program Information screen, choose “Save to VCR.” See page 66.
How do I check the upcoming programs that I’ve scheduled to record?
•
From the DIRECTV Central screen, select “Pick Programs to Record.” From there,
select the To Do List.
How do I cancel a recording?
126
•
If you change the channel while a program is recording, you will be given the option to
cancel the recording.
•
To cancel a scheduled recording: In the To Do List, highlight the program and press
the “Clear” button.

R e c o r d
What happens if a sports event I have scheduled to record goes into overtime?
•
The DVR service cannot predict whether a sporting event might go into overtime, but
we provide a feature that lets you add from one extra minute to three hours at the end
of a recording. The Overtime Scheduler™ has two options: Start Recording and Stop
Recording. Both are available on the Recording Options screen. You can even use the
Overtime Scheduler to change the scheduled end of a recording while the program is
still being recorded. You can use the Overtime Scheduler with any kind of program,
not just sports. For more information, see page 62.
Can I schedule to record a program that will not be aired for months?
•
You can create a WishList to set up recordings for programs that are not yet listed in
the guide. For example, create a keyword WishList that uses the program’s title as the
keyword. See page 73.
Can I save a program from the Now Playing List to my VCR?
•
Yes. You can use the “Save to VCR” function. See page 66 for more information.
Can I copy or archive programs to a ZIP drive or any other computer storage media?
•
No, the DVR does not copy or archive recordings to any device other than a VCR.
How do I go back to the beginning of a recording I’m watching?
•
Press the ADVANCE button ( ) on the remote to go to the end of a recording you’re
watching. Press it again to go to the beginning.
127
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 clear all the letters I’ve entered on the alphanumeric keypad and start over?
•
Use the CLEAR button on the remote, or select “CLR” in the on-screen keypad. To
remove one letter, select “DEL” in the keypad or press the BACK button on the
remote.
How can I fit more programs on Now Playing List, and why does it tell me I don't have
enough space?
•
Your DVR can save a limited number of programs, and then it runs out of space.
Usually, it then begins to delete old programs to make room for new recordings.
However, if you have marked too many programs in Now Playing List “Save until I
delete,” (programs marked “Save until I delete” have a green circle beside them) your
DVR may tell you that you do not have enough space. To make space, delete some of
the programs listed in the Now Playing List. You can delete a program by highlighting
it in Now Playing List, then pressing CLEAR. On the confirmation screen that
appears, press SELECT.
How do I set the clock so that my shows are recorded on time?
•
128
Your DVR’s internal clock is updated by the DIRECTV satellites. If you find that the
DVR’s time is consistently wrong, you can change the Time Zone and Daylight
Savings Time settings manually, as described on page 105. If the clock still shows the
wrong time, you can call DIRECTV Customer Care at the number on the back of this
guide.

R e c o r d
My program didn’t get recorded. I set the DVR up to record something, and it’s not in
Now Playing List.
•
If this happens, you can check Recording History for an explanation why the program
did not record. Recording History is the first selection available in the To Do List.
Here are some reasons why a program may not be available in the Now Playing List:
•
The program may have been canceled by the network.
•
You may have two season pass requests that were on at the same time this week.
Only one can be recorded, unless you have dual tuner, in which case only two can
be recorded at once. The DVR records the Season Pass (or Passes with dual
tuner) with the highest priority. To change priority settings on Season Pass
recordings, go to “Pick Programs to Record” and select “Season Pass Manager.”
•
The program may have been deleted from the Now Playing List by someone else.
•
You may have gotten a conflict when requesting another program, and the
proposed solution was to delete the missing program earlier than planned.
•
The DVR may have lost power during the time the program was broadcast.
I haven’t scheduled enough programs to fill my DVR, but when I try to schedule more
programs, the DVR says there isn’t room.
•
With satellite broadcasts, the amount of recording space the DVR needs varies from
channel to channel and from show to show. In general, the more action you see on
your screen, such as in fast-moving sports or action movies, the more recording space
is required. The space required for each show you record affects the total hours of
recording capacity in your DVR.
129
C h a p t e r
T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g
What does it mean when my DVR says programs will be deleted earlier than
planned?
•
130
By default, all programs except pay per view events are kept for at least two days.
After that, programs may be deleted to make room for other recordings you request.
Recordings of pay per view events are kept until you delete them. The DVR service
uses this information to figure out not only what space will be available but when it
will become available. If enough space will not be available at the time of recording,
the DVR service tells you which programs would be deleted to make more room.
However, you always have the final say on how long the DVR keeps recorded
programs. You can delete programs at any time and can always change how long a
program is saved by changing the “Save Until…” option described on page 60.

Questions About Parental Controls
My Parental Controls are not working.
•
For Parental Controls to work, they must be on (and not temporarily turned off).
Whenever you enter a password to bypass Parental Controls, Parental Controls
become temporarily turned off. If they are turned off, you can turn them back on at the
Parental Controls screen (see page 90), or by putting your DVR in standby mode and
then taking it out of standby.
Do I have to change Parental Controls settings before I can watch a program that
exceeds the current limits?
•
No, you don’t. You can enter the current password to temporarily turn off Parental
Controls. If they are temporarily turned off, you can turn them back on at the Parental
Controls screen (see page 90), or by putting your DVR in standby mode and then
taking it out of standby.
I’ve lost my password for Parental Controls. What should I do?
•
If you have lost your password, you can call DIRECTV Customer Care at the phone
number provided on the back of this guide.

Questions About the DVR’s
Phone Calls
How long does the daily call to the DVR service take?
•
It is typically a short call, less than three minutes. When the software is being updated,
it may take longer, but this happens rarely (a few times a year).
My DVR is not making the daily call to the DVR service.
132
•
If you use a wireless phone, retry the call using a phone which is connected to a
standard wall jack.
•
Verify that your phone line is working by connecting a phone to the phone cord and
checking for a dial tone. Make sure the phone cord is connected to the DVR and the
wall jack.
•
Try another local dial-in number from the Phone Dialing Options screen. To get to
Phone Dialing Options, from DIRECTV Central, select “Messages & Setup,” then
“Recorder & Phone Setup,” then “Phone Connection,” then “Change Dialing
Options.”
•
You may need to change your Phone Dialing Options from the default. After making
changes, make a test call. (Choose Make Test Call from the Phone Connection screen.)
If the test call succeeds, choose “Make Daily Call Now.”
•
If you have voice mail or use another non-standard dial tone, go to “Messages &
Setup,” then “Recorder & Phone Setup,” then “Phone Connection,” then “Change
Dialing Options.” Turn off “Dial Tone Detection.”
Q ue s t i o n s
A b o u t
t h e
•
If you have call waiting, go to “Messages & Setup,” then “Recorder & Phone Setup,”
then “Phone Connection,” then “Change Dialing Options.” Disable call waiting by
entering the correct prefix in Call Waiting Prefix (usually *70,).
•
If you dial a prefix for outside lines, go to “Messages & Setup,” then “Recorder &
Phone Setup,” then “Phone Connection,” then “Change Dialing Options.” Set a Dial
Prefix—for example, “9,” (nine, followed by a comma for a pause).
•
Your phone line may have low voltage. Try setting Phone avail. detection to Off under
Dialing Options, described on page 101.
•
If you have a caller ID box, try removing it from the line since some models interfere
with the DVR modem's ability to make a call.
•
If your DVR is having difficulty dialing out, try the following: Press LEFT arrow until
you return to the Phone Dialing Options screen. Select Set Dial Prefix, and enter the
dialing prefix “,#034” (comma, pound, zero, three, four). Use the PAUSE button to
enter a comma, and the ENTER button to enter a pound. This command sets the
DVR’s modem to a slower speed, which helps phone calls succeed in some
environments. The DVR does not dial the prefix as part of the number.
•
If you have a cordless telephone, fax machine, or computer modem connected to the
same line, go to “Messages & Setup,” then “Recorder & Phone Setup,” then “Phone
Connection,” then “Change Dialing Options.” Turn off “Phone avail. detection.”
•
You might have too much line noise to make a connection. The DVR ships with a 25
foot phone cord. Try a shorter cord, or buy a line noise filter at your local electronics
store.

T r o u b l e sh o o t in g
Why does the DVR have to be connected to a phone line? Do I need to keep the phone
connected all the time?
•
The DVR should be plugged in to a land-based phone line at all times to receive the
DVR service and DIRECTV® sports packages, and to communicate the purchase of
pay per view events.
Does the DVR service phone call each day cost me any money?
•
Calling the DVR service via your local dial-in number is the same as making a local
telephone call.
Does the occasional phone call to DIRECTV cost me any money?
•
No, because your DVR only calls DIRECTV periodically and a toll free number is
used to make the call.
What if I need to make a call while the DVR is using the phone?
•
When you pick up the phone, the DVR will interrupt the download process and free
the phone line for your call. Hang up, wait at least 45 seconds, and pick up the line
again to make a call. The DVR will attempt its call again later.
What if my phone line is not operating when the DVR tries to make a service call?
•
134
The DVR will continue to attempt to call several times a day until it is successful. You
can check the status of the phone calls by going to Messages & Setup and looking at
the Phone Connection screen.

Questions About Audio
I can’t select an alternate audio track.
•
Alternate audio tracks are not available for all programs. If a program has an alternate
audio track, you can select it through the channel banner.
•
Programs are recorded with only one audio track, either the primary or an alternate
audio track, so you cannot select an alternate audio track on a recorded program.
•
If you are watching a live program, but are not caught up to live TV (i.e., you could
use the FORWARD button to move forward through the program), alternate audio will
not be available until you catch up with live TV.
Programs are playing in the wrong language.
•
There may be an alternate language selected in My Preferences. To check, press the
DIRECTV button; then select “Messages & Setup,” and then “My Preferences.” Select
“Audio Options,” then “Audio Language.” Make sure the language selected is the one
you want to hear.
•
An alternate audio track may be selected. (See page 96.)

Questions About Pay Per View
How do I record a pay per view event?
•
If it is on now, tune to the channel carrying the program and press RECORD.
•
If it is on later, go to live TV, press the GUIDE button to see the guide. Highlight the
program and press SELECT.
How do I cancel a pay per view purchase?
•
You can cancel pay per view purchases before the program airs on the Purchases
screen. For more information, see page 85.
•
Pay per view purchases made by phone must be canceled by phone as well. (There is
an additional $1.50 charge when pay per view events and movies are ordered by phone
utilizing the automated ordering system or an additional $5.00 charge for an operatorassisted order.)
I can’t order a pay per view program.
136
•
It may be too late to purchase the program you want. To quickly see other times the
program will be on, do this: In Live TV, tune to the station carrying the pay per view
program you want. There should be a notice saying “This showing is no longer
available.” Press GUIDE to see the guide. Press the RECORD button to see Program
Information for the program. Select “View upcoming showings.” To see live TV
again, press GUIDE.
•
In general, pay per view events can be ordered through the DVR within 24 hours of
their air time. If you see a message that says cost information is not available, you can
wait until less than 24 hours before the program airs and try again.
Q u e s t i o n s
•
If the program exceeds a limit set with Parental Controls, and Parental Controls are on,
you will need a password to view it.

Questions About the DIRECTV® DVR
with TiVo® Service
How do I prevent TiVo Suggestions from being automatically recorded and listed on
Now Playing List?
•
Press the DIRECTV Button, then select “Messages & Setup,” then “My Preferences,”
then “TiVo Suggestions,” then “No.”
Will my DVR still work without the DVR service?
•
Without the DVR service, your DIRECTV® DVR will have no recording
functionality. The DVR uses the DVR service to record shows you request, provide
Season Pass recordings, allow you to search for programs by name, and so on. The
DVR service also provides you with new Showcases. Lastly, the service keeps your
DVR updated to make sure you have the most current functionality available for your
DIRECTV® DVR.
Will the DVR service collect information about my viewing habits?
•
At DIRECTV, we absolutely respect and guard your right to privacy. We have a
privacy policy that maintains complete viewer confidentiality. DIRECTV has created
a very sophisticated system with both protection and customization for our viewers in
mind. It is DIRECTV’s promise to you that you will always maintain control over your
personal information. For more information, see the DIRECTV Privacy Promise,
included in your first monthly statement.
139
C h a p t e r
T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g
How does my TiVo Suggestions list get generated? How does it know what I like?
•
Your personal TV preferences are based on programs you have rated with THUMBS
UP and THUMBS DOWN. Also, any program you record that does not already have a
Thumb rating is automatically given one THUMB UP.
TiVo Suggestions isn’t making accurate suggestions for me.
•
If you haven’t had your DVR for very long, give it time. It may take a week or two of
use before your personal preference profile has enough data to make interesting
suggestions. The more you press THUMBS UP and THUMBS DOWN and the more
programs you record, the better TiVo Suggestions will be.
If other members of your household are pressing THUMBS UP on shows you don’t
care for, and vice versa, you may find TiVo Suggestions is making some suggestions
that you like, and some that are more appropriate for other members of your
household.
Will I lose my personal preferences and my programs if I lose power temporarily?
•
140
No, everything is saved—your personal preferences, your To Do List, and your Now
Playing List programs—regardless of the length of time you have lost power. The only
thing you might miss is a recording that was scheduled to occur during the time the
power was out.

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may connect to
a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the
devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all
areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of
the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by
the total RENs, contact your local telephone company. For product
approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the
product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits
represented by ## are the REN without the decimal point (e.g., 03 is a
REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the
label.
I n f o r m a t i o n
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THIS EQUIPMENT. It does not contain any
user-serviceable components.

21. Polarization—The DIRECTV® DVR is equipped with a plug that will fit into the power outlet only one way. Do not modify the plug. If the plug
does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. To prevent electric shock, do not use this plug with an extension cord or outlet unless you
can fully insert the blades without blade exposure.
22. Satellite Dish Antenna Grounding—The outdoor satellite dish antenna and the cable which connects the satellite dish antenna to the DVR must
comply with local installation codes and the appropriate sections of the National Electric Code (NEC). In particular they must comply with Article 81015, which covers proper installation and grounding of television receiving equipment. They must also comply with Article 820-33, which specifies that
the satellite dish antenna cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as is practical.
These codes require proper grounding of the metal structure of the outdoor satellite dish antenna and grounding of the connecting cable at a point where
it enters the house (or other building). If a professional installs the Satellite Dish Antenna, be sure that the installer observes installation codes. If
additional local installation codes apply, contact local inspection authorities. It is important to comply with these codes for proper operation of the
DVR.

This section describes the use of the connection jacks and switch on the back panel of the
DIRECTV® DVR. If your setup doesn’t match any of the examples, you can use this
information for general reference as you set up your equipment.
1. AC ~ In: When you’ve finished making all of the other connections, plug the AC
power cord (supplied) into this opening to turn on the DVR. The DVR does not use a
separate on/off switch; plugging it in switches it on.
2. Phone Line: Connect the DVR to your phone line using the telephone cord (supplied)
and optional telephone line splitter (supplied). Your DVR needs to be connected to a
phone line to receive updates from DIRECTV. The DVR occasionally makes a brief
phone call to get updates to the DVR service and Showcases, and for pay per view

functionality. Do not connect the DVR to digital PBX systems. Doing so may
permanently damage your DVR’s modem and will void your warranty.
3. Cntrl Out (Serial): For future use.
4. Cntrl Out (IR): For future use.
5. USB (Universal Serial Bus) (2): For future use.
6. Composite Video Outputs (2): If your TV or VCR has a Composite Video jack you
can connect the DVR to your TV or VCR’s Video In using the yellow video connector
on the Composite Video cable (supplied). If you have both a TV and a VCR, you
might use one cable for the TV and another cable (not supplied) for the VCR.
7. L/R Audio Outputs (2 each): If your TV or stereo features Composite Input jacks,
connect the Left (white) and Right (red) Audio Output jacks from the DVR to your TV
or stereo using the L/R Audio cables (supplied). If you have both a TV and a VCR,
you might use one set of L/R Audio cables for the TV and another set (not supplied)
for the VCR; see chapter 1 of this guide for examples. If you are using an S-Video
cable to connect to your TV or VCR, you must use it with the L/R Audio outputs.
Ignore the L/R Audio jacks if you’re using RF Out or Digital Audio Out.
8. S-Video Output: If your TV or VCR features an S-Video input jack, you can connect it
to the DVR using an S-Video cable. S-Video provides a higher quality picture than
composite. If you use the S-Video Output, you must also connect the supplied L/R
Audio outputs (red and white cable ends). When connecting S-Video and the red and
white L/R Audio outputs, do not plug in the yellow Composite Video cable.
9. Digital Audio Out: You can use the Digital Audio Out to connect your DVR to an A/V
receiver with a digital audio input. To do so, you will need an optical audio cable (not
supplied). Ordinarily, your DVR produces tones to indicate when certain buttons on
153
A p p e n d i x
B a c k
P a n e l
R e f e r e n c e
the remote control are pressed or to indicate signal strength when you are positioning
your dish. If you use Digital Audio Out, you will not hear these tones.
10. Satellite In 2: If you have a Dual LNB satellite dish, you can connect the second
satellite cable from your wall to the Satellite In 2 jack. Connecting both Satellite In 1
and Satellite In 2, and completing the required steps in Satellite Setup, allows you to
record two programs at the same time (dual tuner).
11. Satellite In 1: Connect the satellite cable from your wall to the Satellite In 1 jack. You
will not be able to watch DIRECTV® channels if you do not make this connection.
12. Channel 3/4 Switch: If you use RF Out, set the output to channel 3 or 4 using this
switch. To get the best picture, select the channel that is not occupied by a local
broadcast channel. For example, if there is a local broadcast station on channel 4,
select channel 3 for the output on the DVR. You need to set your television to this
channel (3 or 4) in order to view programs through the DVR.
13. RF Out: If your TV only has RF In, connect the DVR to your TV’s RF In using the
coaxial RF cable (supplied). The RF In jack on your TV may not be labeled “RF In;” it
may be labeled “VHF/UHF In” or “Antenna/Cable In” instead. If your TV has
multiple inputs and you can use the DVR’s S-Video Output or Composite Video
Output, don’t use this jack.
14. RF In: If you use an antenna, and your TV has only one input, connect your antenna to
the DVR using your existing coaxial RF cable (the one coming out of the wall). If your
TV has multiple inputs, you can ignore this jack and connect your antenna directly to
your TV instead. You will NOT be able to you to use DIRECTV and DVR functions
while watching antenna or cable channels, even if you connect your antenna or cable
directly to your DVR.

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software—
to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public
License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and
to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other
Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library
General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.
Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the
freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service
if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that
you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and
that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to
deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These
restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute
copies of the software, or if you modify it.
156
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or
for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You
must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And
you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If
the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its
recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any
problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors’
reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.
We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must
be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification.
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a
notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under
the terms of this General Public License. The “Program,” below, refers
to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means
G N U
either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to
say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or
with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter,
translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.)
Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered
only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent
of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true
depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice
and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients
of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you
may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute
such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under
the terms of this License.
G e n e r a l
P u b l i c
L i c e n se
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive
use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no
warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how
to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is
interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work
based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and
can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on
the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the
scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
157
A p p e n d i x
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and
2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to
give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;
or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only
for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is
normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to
copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source
code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source
along with the object code.
158

L i c e n s e
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise
to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed
it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute
the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law
if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing
the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for
copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms
and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the
recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible
for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute
so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not
permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive
G N U
copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could
satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply
and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents
or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims;
this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free
software distribution system, which is implemented by public license
practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide
range of software distributed through that system in reliance on
consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to
decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other
system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an
explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so
that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
detail to address new problems or concerns.
G e n e r a l
P u b l i c
L i c e n se
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and “any
later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the
FreeSoftware Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by
the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the
two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free
software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
No Warranty
11. Because the program is licensed free of charge, there is no warranty
for the program, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Except when
otherwise stated in writing the copyright holders and/or other parties
provide the program “as is” without warranty of any kind, either
expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties
of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The entire risk as
to the quality and performance of the program is with you. Should the
program prove defective, you assume the cost of all necessary servicing,
repair or correction.
12. In no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing
will any copyright holder, or any other party who may modify and/or
redistribute the program as permitted above, be liable to you for
damages, including any general, special, incidental or consequential
damages arising out of the use or inability to use the program (including
159
A p p e n d i x
but not limited to loss of data or data being rendered inaccurate or losses
sustained by you or third parties or a failure of the program to operate
with any other programs), even if such holder or other party has been
advised of the possibility of such damages.
End of terms and conditions.
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free
software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the
exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright”
line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

Copyright (C)  
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the
Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your
option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation,
Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when
it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details
type ‘show w’.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain
conditions; type ‘show c’ for details.
The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the
appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
commands you use may be called something other than ‘show w’ and
‘show c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items—whatever
suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
your school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
‘Gnomovision’ (which makes passes at compilers) written by James
Hacker.
, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications
with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library
General Public License instead of this License.
