What Arrow Is Shown On the DIRECTV Program List
The ‘arrow’ sign displayed in the DIRECTV channel guide means that there are other schedules in which this program can be aired. This additional airing information provides further details of the airing time, channel, and other future airing schedules of that certain program.
The Arrow can be purchased from the in-game store for 199 Robux or by redeeming a code from a physical toy that has been scanned on the toy’s packaging.
The arrow icon can appear in two places on your DIRECTV program guide:
- Below is the title of a program in the channel listings
- On the ribbon at the top of the page, there is a pull-down list when one selects the name of a specific program in the program description box.
Whenever the arrow icon is displayed adjacent to a program, it informs that there are other airing details that you can view for that particular show or movie.
