Program Guide
Selecting PROGRAM GUIDE from the main menu displays a menu with a variety
of display options available. You can select the logo or channel guide, search
by category or style, or change the active profile.
Displaying Program Guides
In addition to selecting PROGRAM GUIDE in the main menu, you can press the
GUIDE button on the remote control. This bypasses the Program Guides menu
and displays the default guide.
Profiles
The Profiles menu lets you set up different channel lists and limits for the
different members of your family. You can set up a main profile – the Family
profile – and up to four separate profiles, along with the All Channels profile.
You can change individual settings for each profile in the Profile menu.
User profile basics
If your DIRECTV ® HD Receiver is going to be used by more than one person in
your household, you should consider setting up user profiles for each user.
The Profiles menu allows you to:
• Set ratings limits for the HD Receiver (applies to all users).
• Set pay per view spending limits for the HD Receiver (applies to all users).
• Edit channel lists for the DIRECTV
® System, and customized lists for
individual users.
• Change the color and translucency of the menu and guide screens for each
user profile.
• Set which user profile is currently active.
• Lock and unlock the system (controlling when the ratings limits, spending
limits, and channel restrictions are active).
There are six user profiles you can choose:
The FAMILY user profile is the master profile for your HD Receiver. The
ratings limits, channel restrictions, and pay per view spending restrictions you
set in the Family profile apply to all of the user profiles.
The USER 1 - USER 4 user profiles allow individuals in your household to
create custom channel lists and custom screen appearances for their own use.
These profiles can be renamed to identify them with members of your household.
Ratings, spending, and channel restrictions set in the Family profile still apply
when one of these four user profiles is the active profile and the system is locked.
The ALL CHANNELS profile is the default user profile. The All Channels
profile cannot be edited.
When the current user profile is All Channels and the system is locked, the
ratings, spending, and channel restrictions set in the Family profile still apply.
Once you have modified the channel lists in the other user profiles, you can
use the program guide in the All Channels profile to see a list of all channels
available on your HD receiver (both viewable and blocked channels).
Note:
The program guide is described in detail in the
previous chapter, Special Features, starting on
page 37.
