This is starting to drift off topic folks unfortunately since JAWS won't work with a receiver for your TV.

Well, I have the direct tv dvr and dvr remote and it is on of the green buttons just bellow the arrow buttons with the round thing in the middle. I believe when you go down from that round part that there is a like kind of semi-circle thing that has like four or five buttons and it is the third button from the left. I believe. And if there is not any description, it will make a sound and if there is other description like spanish or another language it will play in that language. You just keep hitting that button to scroll through. I don't know why my locals aren't described. I contacted dvs and they said it has to do with how the direct tv locals are going through the sattilite or something. tnt has law and order (not svu or anything just law and order) described and tcm has a lot of movies discribed. Also you can set your dvr to record from a computer and press the buttons at te bottom of the round arrow thing that is like rectangle and then the slect button in the middle of the arrows and then play or use the arrows to scrooll through the stuf on er dvr. Then to del you go back one arrow, the key on the left, and press the little button underneath the arrow kind of on the right side. This stuff is kinda hard to explain. It helps if you can have a sighted person show you the buttons onee, and then you can learn them. Sarah A.
