Chapter 3 Thumbs ratings Your personal TV preferences are just that: personal. (DIRECTV privacy policies are included in your first monthly statement.) Only programs airing on channels in the Channels You Receive list can be recorded as Suggestions. 36 The Basics in 5 Short Tours Tour 4: Find New Programs Your DIRECTV® DVR makes it easy for you to find what you want to watch-by responding to your interests and collecting the best the networks have to offer. Suggestions Suggestions is a personalized list of shows selected to match your preferences. How is this magic possible? Any time you watch programs, live or recorded, or browse programs with the Program Guide or in Showcases, you can rate them using the THUMBS UP™ ™ and THUMBS DOWN™ ™ buttons. You can give a program up to three thumbs up or down. Over time, the more shows you rate, the better Suggestions will be at finding programs you like. The suggested programs are listed under Suggestions in order of how closely they match your preferences. It's important to remember these characteristics of Suggestions recordings: • Suggestions never replace shows you request, or prevent your requested shows from being recorded • Suggestions are always the first programs deleted to make room for recordings you request. Try it! Press GUIDE to bring up the DIRECTV Advanced Program Guide™. Highlight a few programs and rate them by pressing the THUMBS UP™ ™ or THUMBS DOWN™ ™ button. Then go to DIRECTV Central and select Pick Programs to Record, then Suggestions. Suggested programs based on your THUMBS ratings are listed here. (If you don't see programs yet, come back later-it may take a few hours the first time.) You can press SELECT on a program, then set up a recording.
