Directv Remote Controls - What They Do and Where you Can Get Them Free
DIRECTV remote controls are the control center of a satellite TV system. Here's what they can do and where you can get them free.
DIRECTV Remote Controls
Prior to satellite TV, remote controls were very basic. They turned your TV on and off, changed your channels, adjusted the volume, and that was about it. Now they have more functions than you can shake a stick at.
Here are the main functions a DIRECTV remote can perform:
* In addition to changing channels manually, you can click on the "Guide" button to get an on-screen guide that shows you all the programs that are on DIRECTV, plus a brief summary of those programs so you can tell if a program is worth watching. You can then highlight a show and push "Select" to view it.
* The "Record" button lets you record TV shows with ease. All you have to do is push "Record" to record the program you're watching, or to record a program you've highlighted in the on-screen guide that comes on later.
* With the "Play" button you can play a recording.
* The "Pause" button lets you pause a live TV show, or a recorded show, so you can get a snack or answer the phone then resume watching it when you're ready.
* With the "Rewind" button you can rewind a recored program or go back to a previous scene of a live program. You can press it up to four times to increase the rewind speed.
* The "Advance" button lets you jump ahead when watching a recording.
* The "Format" button allows you to display the picture on your TV in different sized formats. So if you have a standard-size TV and a program is broadcast in wide-screen format, you can choose a standard format so the picture will fill your screen.
* The slide switch at the top of the remote control lets you use your remote to control your satellite TV receiver, your TV, your DVD player, and your VCR.
These are the main functions of the remote control. Of course you also have the standard "On/Off buttons," a "Volume" control, and numbered channel buttons.
