More Information
Details: Get more channels and a better picture without leaving our solar system! RCA DIRECTV satellite system features the original 18" mini-dish that has revolutionized the entertainment choices of millions of Americans. It's a great way to bring the power of digital quality picture and sound into your home today. And now you get more sports, more movies and more options than ever. There's something for everyone, with a wide selection of basic channels, premium movie channels, pay-per-view and audio music choice.

A 32-bit processor is at the heart of this new system. The accelerated performance allows immediate access to all the new interactive features. DRD222RD offers advanced on-screen program guides. The SurfGuide feature brings up seven channels of programs at a time. Surf up and down the guide, viewing the current 30-minute or up to a two-hour 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. With The Guardian interactive channel banner 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 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. 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! Used in conjunction with Home Control accessories, the receiver can control lights and appliances directly, or while you're away, through the built-in timer function. 8-event scheduler delivers you the ability to program your receiver to turn on, tune to a specific channel, and turn off at a pre-set time. Master Touch universal IR remote with ergonomic design and color-coded buttons provides complete satellite system operation plus primary function control of virtually every brand of remote controllable TV.
