Di you know you can watch 2 channels at once? DIRECTV always makes your life easier and guarantees you the best home entertainment in satellite Television.

How to watch two channels at once?

Turn on PiP

1. Press INFO on your remote control.
2. Select PiP.
3. Select On and Side by Side. The current channel you’re watching appears on the inset screen. The inset screen is the smaller screen and is on the right side in Side by Side view. The channel you were watching before appears on the full screen. The full screen is the bigger screen and is on the left side in Side by Side view.

Note: If you press INFO and the PiP banner does not appear you may not have the receiver needed for the PiP feature. PiP won’t work on Genie Minis or a DIRECTV Ready TV without a Genie DVR. 

Swap the channels 
To switch the two channels between the two screens, press the down arrow on your remote. The audio you hear is the channel on the full screen (or left screen if in Side by Side view).

Move the screens
You can choose where to move the inset screen by going to the PiP menu and choosing upper right or upper left.
