TIPS & TRICKS 2009-08-18

DIRECTV presents TV Apps

A whole new way to enjoy TV.

With DIRECTV's exciting FREE TV Apps, like Flickr, ScoreGuide, 5-Day Weather Forecast and 15 Webcams, you can view your favorite pictures, get up to the minute scores, check your local weather, see live feeds of sights from Venice to the Eiffel Tower to the Pyramids and much more — without missing a second of what you're watching, all at the press of a button.

How It Works:
  • Press the Right Arrow button on your remote control to launch TV Apps. Select the DIRECTV App Store icon at the top of the TV Apps Dock and choose the apps you want. You can also go to the online DIRECTV App Store on your computer, select Browse and choose the apps you want there.
  • Whenever you want to access your TV Apps, just press the Right Arrow button and select the App you want to use.
  • Enjoy.

To enjoy TV Apps, you need a DIRECTV Plus® HD DVR receiver (model HR20 and up), a DIRECTV Plus® DVR (model R22) or a DIRECTV HD receiver (models H21 and H23). The receiver must be connected to the Internet.

It's that simple. Just click and enjoy.
