Weather (Active) Channel Access on Direct TV

My old white remote (SD) has the "active" button on it to access the weather forcast.

How do you access the weather forcast on the newer black (HD) remotes that doesn't have the "active" button on it ?

Thanks for any info.

    I use INTELLICAST or WEATHER UNDERGROUND here on my computer.. They keep changing things however. I used to have Tornado symbols show on the screen but don't see them anymore... I have one set for my local town here zoomed in pretty close and the other is set for our local town but zoomed out to see as far away as Texas from here in Virginia...

    I can have my favorite towns set up in the favorites so I can switch and see how they are doing weather wise...

    Following the weather on the internet with the live radar so to speak is about four minutes behind time...

    My NOAA WX RADIO goes into alert mode first then I look on the computer to see whats heading our way...

    Of course all of the local TV stations seem to run the active NOAA weather alerts across the bottom of their screens which is neat also...

    Used to live in Wichita Falls TX where it was something bad going on every three days hehe... When the skies start going to green look its time to head for the storm cellar...

  • The forecast I use in on the weather channel that allows you input your own cities. But mostly I just use my computer or phone.
