To record on DirecTV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV and DirecTV Receiver: Ensure your DirecTV box is powered on and you’re on the correct input for your receiver.
2. Navigate to the Program You Want to Record: You can either:
– Use the Guide button on your remote to browse through channels and select the show you want to record.
– If the program is currently playing, use the Pause button to temporarily stop it and then press the Record button.
3. Press the Record Button: On your DirecTV remote, press the red Record button (it usually looks like a red dot). This will schedule the program to record. If it’s a live broadcast, it will start recording from the point you press record.
4. Access Your Recorded Shows:
– To view your recorded shows, press the List button on your remote. This will bring up your DVR library where you can see all the programs you’ve recorded.
– From here, you can select and play any of the recorded content.
5. Set a Series Record (Optional):
– If you want to record an entire series, navigate to the show you want to record and press the Info button.
– Then, select Record Series. This will automatically record every episode of that series as it airs.
6. Manage Recordings:
– You can delete or manage recordings by going into the List and highlighting the program you want to remove. Press the Info button, and you’ll get options to delete or manage it.
That’s it! Your DirecTV DVR will record your selected programs, and you can watch them later at your convenience.
