• Weather: Check the weather. Choose up to five different cities.
• ScoreGuide: Get up-to-the-minute sports scores, standings and schedules for all major sports, including college conferences.
  Even get yesterday’s results for games you missed, and see upcoming game schedules up to 7 days in advance.
• What’s Hot: Discover new shows by checking out what’s trending on DIRECTV.

To access TV Apps just press the RIGHT arrow on your remote. And then use your UP and DOWN arrows to highlight the one you want and press SELECT. To exit a TV App, just press EXIT or BACK on your remote.

Requirements: TV Apps require a Genie (model HR34 and later, model C31 and later) or a DIRECTV HD DVR receiver (model HR21 and later) or DIRECTV HD Receiver (model H21 and later) and Internet connection. The receiver must be connected to the Internet.

Troubleshooting tip: If you’re having difficulty accessing TV Apps, first check that you have the correct receiver type and confirm that your broadband connection is working. Next, press EXIT on your remote to clear any onscreen elements and press the right arrow again. Graphics may take up to 30 seconds to load depending on your broadband connection.
