Cool Things You Can Do Cool Things You Can Do Record two programs at the same time with Dual Tuner! Your DIRECTV® DVR has two tuners-which means it can record programs on two channels at the same time. To activate both tuners, both Satellite In jacks on the back of the DVR must be connected to cables from your satellite dish antenna (or a multiswitch), and you must choose the "Two cables" option in Satellite Dish Guided Setup (see page 22). With Dual Tuner you can watch more of your favorite programs, even when they're on at the same time. Never be late for your favorite programs. Working late? Stuck in traffic? Don't worry. If you scheduled a recording, the program will be waiting for you in the Now Playing List. You can even start watching from the beginning while it finishes recording. Make your television wishes come true with a WishList™ search. Have a favorite actor? A favorite hobby or interest? How about a favorite sports team? If they're on TV, chances are a WishList™ will find them. See page 54. Looking for good movies? Kids' shows? Science fiction? With Search by Title, you can browse all the upcoming programs in a particular category and find shows you didn't know were on. See page 34. See a good preview, record the show. If you're watching live TV and a promotion comes on for an upcoming program, you may see an Ipreview® icon like this one: Press THUMBS UP™ while you see the icon to automatically set up a recording for the program. You don't have to remember when it's on-it will be recorded! (If you didn't schedule a recording when you saw the icon, rewind until it's visible again.) Filter the Program Guide. Want to try something new for dinner tonight? It's easy to make the Program Guide show only a certain kind of program-for example, cooking shows. You'll use the Guide Options screen to choose the desired filter (in this example, 3 39
