[c_fnt1v]>DIRECTV ADVANCED PROGRAM GUIDETM SERVICE No one designs better viewing guides than HUGHES. With more detailed information and better flexibility, you'll be able to find your favorite programs and channels faster than ever before. Now you can even seamlessly incorporate local off-air programming information into an easy-to-read program guide. There are three different guide styles to ensure easy navigation through more than 225 channels available with DIRECTV programming.
DOLBY® DIGITAL CAPABILITY To maximize your home theater experience, the HUGHES Platinum DIRECTV System has full Dolby Digital (AC-3) capability. The HUGHES receiver allows you to send Dolby Digital signals out to your AC-3 decoder by fiber-optic cable.
BUILT-IN RF REMOTE CONTROL Using the custom RF universal remote control, you will be able to control your Platinum HD digital satellite receiver from any room in your home... even the walls.
CALLER ID* You'll never wonder again who could be calling during your favorite television show. Our Platinum High-Definition receiver features a built-in Caller ID, displaying incoming phone calls right on your television.
TURBO VIDEO ACCELERATOR TECHNOLOGY All HUGHES digital satellite receivers feature proprietary Turbo Video Accelerator technology, a revolutionary system that allows unprecedented levels of speed and onscreen functionality.
PreSelectTM PROGRAMMING Choose the programs you want to watch in advance, select them, then forget about them. Your Platinum HD digital satellite receiver will automatically switch to the programs you choose when they begin.
32-EVENT SCHEDULER WITH StarSightTM ONE-BUTTON RECORDING Program up to 32 preselected programs to watch what you want, when you want. No other digital satellite receiver offers this many preselect options. In addition, the HUGHES Platinum HD system features automatic VCR recording capability, powered by one-button record technology.
CUSTOM NAME 'FAVORITES' LISTS Organize the channels on your Platinum HD digital satellite receiver into convenient programming lists, then customize them with names you choose for easy access. (Example: "Dad's Faves," "Mom's Faves.") Each name can be up to 10 characters long, including spaces.
COLOR-CODED PROGRAM GUIDE CATEGORIES Programs listed on the programming guide can be color-coded for viewing ease — purple for movies, green for sports, red for news, and blue for other programming categories.
WatchWordTM SEARCH Choose up to 8 'catch' words or names to identify programming that interests you, program them into your receiver, then let your digital satellite receiver do the work. It will automatically search DIRECTV program titles and program descriptions for those key words and alert you of those programs on the WatchWord onscreen guide.
