With the UltimateTV® service from Microsoft, you become the master of over 225 DIRECTV® channels and hundreds of hours of TV programs.

You can search up to two weeks of TV programming across all the channels. The interactive Advanced Program Guide™ from DIRECTV lets you see what's on now and later.

Here are the features that make digitally recorded television powerful:

Always something good to watch

Record without videotape: One-touch recording without tapes, and now automatically find and record shows with Auto-Record

Record two shows at once*: Why choose one when you can record both?

Pause Live TV: Schedule your own breaks while your show waits on Pause

Skip Ahead: Jump past the boring stuff - 30 seconds at a time

Instant Replay: Want to see that play again?

Search TV: Quick, what's the Thursday night lineup?

Upgrades: Software updates that bring you the latest features via satellite**

 
* Dual-tuner features require a dual-LNB DIRECTV system dish antenna.

** There may be a charge if you decide to purchase new, additional services that become available through a software upgrade.
