Messages
The Messages menu lets you access messages or phone calls. If you select Mail,
it shows you messages that are sent from DIRECTV. For example, you may
receive a message calling your attention to a new service. If you select Caller
ID, this menu shows you Caller ID information from your telephone provider (if
you subscribe to Caller ID service).
Mail
To tell if you have mail, you need to check the channel banner available when
you press the remote control’s INFO button. In the channel banner, the
messages icon will be highlighted if you have an unread message waiting.
Checking Your Mail
Select Messages from the Main menu, then Mail from the next menu. Or select
the mailbox icon on the channel banner to view your mail.
1. Point to a message and press OK. The message is opened for you to read.
2. Press OK again to close the message.
If you want to erase a message, point to Erase Message and press OK. When
you exit Messages, messages that aren’t erased are saved in memory.
Note: The quickest way to check for messages is to press the INFO button on
the remote control. This will display the channel banner. With the channel
banner displayed, use the remote control’s arrow buttons to highlight the
mail icon, then press the remote control’s OK button to access the Mail
menu.
