The On Screen Program Guide is customized to view only those channels that are subscribed by the subscribers. The DirecTV receiver will display all channels offered by DirecTV, by default in the program guide, whether subscribers subscribe to them or not. Subscribers can restrict channels, that have to be displayed on the guide screen and make only the subscribed channels to appear on it.

To customize the on-screen guide (For DirecTV Plus HD DVR, DirecTV HD Receiver or DirecTV Plus DVR), subscribers should perform the following steps:

  • Press the Guide button on the Remote control.
  • Press the yellow button on the remote control that will display the Guide Options menu.
  • Select the option Change Favorites List and then Channels I get.

Now in the on screen guide, subscribers can watch only those channels that they have subscribed. Channels I get will be displayed in the bottom left corner of the guide screen.

To customize the on screen guide (For standard DirecTV Receiver), subscribers have to do the following steps:
