To watch on-demand content with DIRECTV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on Your TV and Receiver: Make sure your DIRECTV receiver is powered on and your TV is set to the correct input.
2. Press the ‘Menu’ Button: Using your DIRECTV remote, press the “Menu” button. This will bring up the main menu on your TV screen.
3. Navigate to ‘On Demand’: Use the arrow keys on your remote to scroll down and select “On Demand.” This option is usually listed in the main menu, but its location can vary depending on your receiver model.
4. Browse or Search for Content: Once in the On Demand section, you can either browse through categories or use the search function to find a specific movie, show, or title. You can typically find movies, TV shows, and sometimes pay-per-view events.
5. Select and Play the Content: After selecting the desired program, press “OK” or “Select” on your remote to begin streaming the content. If the program is available, it will begin playing after a brief loading period.
6. Ensure You Have an Active Internet Connection: On Demand content is delivered over the internet, so you need a stable broadband connection. If your receiver is not connected to the internet, you’ll need to set up an Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection.
7. Enjoy Your Content: Once the content starts playing, you can control it using your remote to pause, rewind, or fast-forward as needed.
Note: Some On Demand content may require an additional subscription or payment, so ensure your DIRECTV plan includes access to the On Demand library you’re browsing.
If you encounter any issues or need help with your account, you can contact DIRECTV customer support for assistance.
