DRD222RD
Accelerated 32-Bit Processor
A 32-Bit processor is at the heart of this new
system. The accelerated performance allows
immediate access to all the new interactive
features.
Advanced On-Screen Program Guides
• SurfGuide
™
The SurfGuide brings up seven channels of
programs at a time. Surf up and down the guide,
viewing the current 30-minute or up to a twohour time window of programming. You’ll never
miss out on any of the action of your current
show, because it stays active in the background
while you explore other channels.
• Information Guide
Lists five different channels of programming
at a glance. Details on the current highlighted
program are displayed in a banner at the top
of the screen. Program information changes
automatically as the consumer navigates through
the guide and highlights different programs.
• Full Seven-Line Program Guide
Provides channel and program title information
for seven different channels covering a two-hour
time window. Arrows help indicate programs
starting before or ending after the current time
shown on the grid.
Interactive Channel Banner
The new translucent, see-through Interactive
Channel Banner makes access to the key features
of the DIRECTV1System fast and easy. We’ve
taken the most exciting new features, created
icons for each of them, and positioned them in
the banner for direct access.
• The Guardian
™
With this feature, parents have the ability to lock
out specific channels and set rating and spending
limits. They will be able to set specific viewing
times for both the weekdays and the weekends.
• AlphaSort
™
AlphaSort allows you to sort the current guide
alphabetically, starting with any letter you choose.
Go directly to any listed show with the push of
one button.
• Scout
™
The new Scout feature searches the entire
program guide to find matches to eight key
words or phrases that you enter. Great for
keeping track of your favorite movies, sports
teams, actors and actresses!
