Once you've turned on the filter, programs that do not fit the selected category appear in gray on the guide until you highlight them. In addition, if a given channel doesn't have any shows that fit the category within the next six hours, that channel doesn't show up in the guide. You can always turn filtering off to show all channels in the guide. Use the Overtime Scheduler® (and don't miss overtime!). Programs sometimes start before they're supposed to and often end later than scheduled. With Recording Options, you can "pad" your recordings to account for variations by using the Overtime Scheduler®. See page 44. Use the EXIT button. The EXIT button hides the status bar, guide, channel banner, and anything else that is not part of the program. The Star and the Clapboard. You will occasionally see a yellow star ( ) on DIRECTV Central. The star signals a new selection that may change the next time you visit. Depending on the selection, it may allow you to record a program, watch a preview, or go to a special Showcase. Don't worry if you pass up a particular new selection; keep going back to DIRECTV Central until it appears again. The clapboard icon-on DIRECTV Central, or in a Showcase-indicates that a selection includes a video preview. If the clapboard has a green triangle in it ( ), you can press PLAY to play the video. If there is no green triangle, the current selection takes you to another screen where you'll find the actual video clip.

The Star and the Clapboard.
You will occasionally see a yellow star (
) on
DIRECTV Central. The star signals a new selection that may change the next time you
visit. Depending on the selection, it may allow you to record a program, watch a preview,
or go to a special Showcase. Don’t worry if you pass up a particular new selection; keep
going back to DIRECTV Central until it appears again.
The clapboard icon—on DIRECTV Central, or in a Showcase—indicates that a selection
includes a video preview. If the clapboard has a green triangle in it (
), you can press
PLAY to play the video. If there is no green triangle, the current selection takes you to
another screen where you’ll find the actual video clip.
