. If you chose a local dial-in number, you will not see this screen. If you 

selected “None of the Above” on the Dial-In Numbers screen, select “Request 800 number 
authorization” here. Selecting this option temporarily selects the toll-free number and 
submits a request to use the toll-free number. It is the current policy of DIRECTV to allow 
you to use the toll-free number if there are no local numbers available. 

. Choose the dialing format you need. For example, should the dial-in 

number be preceded by your area code, and should a “1” precede the area code? In some 
areas, even local numbers must be dialed using the area code.

. This screen appears while the DVR tests the phone dialing 

options and local dial-in number you have chosen. You should see a message that says

not succeed, you may need to pick a different dial-in number, or change the dialing 
format. Use the LEFT arrow to go back to previous screens and make changes to dialing 
options.

record programs and make phone calls to keep its data up-to-date. 

. If you take your DVR with you to a location without satellite access—

for example, on a weekend get-away to a mountain cabin—you will still be able to 
connect it to a television and watch programs saved in the Now Playing List. 

After completing Guided Setup one time, whenever you unplug the DVR and plug it back 
in, it will search for a satellite signal. When you see the message “Acquiring Satellite
