The DIRECTV Advanced Program Guide™ contains schedule and program information for all
DIRECTV ® channels. The Advanced Program Guide also provides local over-the-air channels
information including both conventional analog and digital channels, if you receive satellite ser-
vice.

FAVORITE channel lists to customize and design your favorite channels, respectively. In addition,
you can easily find specific programs by using the CATEGORY search of KEYWORD search func-
tions. An explanation of each channel list is described in Section 7-2.
