A DirecTV digital video recorder (DVR) can allow you to schedule when to watch your favorite shows or events on your time. After your event has been recorded, retrieving the event to watch can be done in a few simple steps. Most DVRs allow for many hours of recording time, allowing you to record many shows and events.
Instructions
1. Turn on the television and DirecTV box. Make sure the TV is turned to the proper input where your DirecTV box is plugged in. It doesn't matter what channel the DirecTV is turned to, because you are going to retrieve a recorded event.
2. Press the list button on the DirecTV remote. This button is located below the orange record button on the top half of the remote. This will take you to a list of your recorded events.
3. Scroll down to the event you want to watch by using the black arrows that are located in the center of the remote. These buttons form a circle around the yellow select button. The event that is selected will be highlighted yellow.
4. Press the yellow "select" button that is in the center of the black arrows you used to scroll down to your desired event. If you record a series of episodes, like a TV show, pressing select will take you to a sub-menu listing the different episodes.
5. Press the same yellow select button once you find the desired event. This will take you to another menu that will allow you to start the event.
6. Press the yellow button once again to play the episode. You can skip ahead of the event by using the arrows located at the top portion of the remote. These buttons have two small arrows and are located above the orange record button.
