After some show titles, I have noticed from 1 to 4
stars (****). What does that mean?
These stars are a broadcast-industry rating system
used to inform you of a show’s quality. The more
stars, the better the rating.
I have seen the word “download” in reference to the
Guide. What does that mean?
A download sends channel and show information to a
TV Guide On Screen device. A download happens at
least once a day.
Can I set a Record or Remind event without
highlighting a show title in the Guide?
Yes. TV Guide On Screen has a Manual Record and
Remind feature. Highlight Schedule and press menu.
Choose the event type, press SELECT and then enter
date, start and stop time, channel number, etc.
What do the frequencies for Record and Remind
mean?
• Once—records/reminds the show one time
• Daily (manual only)—records/reminds the
time, channel, and input combination Monday
through Friday
• Regularly— records/reminds for the
channel/time combination on any day of the
week, on the same channel
• Weekly— records/reminds for the channel/
time combination on a specific day of the
week
• Off (not cancel)—keeps the show in the list
but will not record/remind the show until the
frequency is changed
How can I look for a specific show in the Guide?
Search lets you find shows by Category (HDTV, Movies,
Sports, Children, Educational, News, Variety, Series),
Keyword, or Alphabetical.
