About the TV Guide On Screen
System
The TV Guide On Screen system is a no-fee, on-screen program guide
that lists TV schedules for your area and enables your TV to directly
control a cable box and/or recording device. You must fi rst set up the
TV Guide On Screen system in order to view this on-screen program
guide (see Chapter 1 for details).
There are fi ve sections of the TV Guide On Screen system:
• A video window
• Service navigation bar- Listings, Search, Setup, and Schedule
• Channel listings
• Panel window
• Information Box
Notes: Whenever the TV Guide On Screen system is activated in
the TV, the last-viewed channel appears in the video window.
The TV Guide On Screen system screens illustrated in this
book are representations of what you are likely to see. Not all
channels, programs, and TV Guide On Screen information
depicted will be available in your area. New features and options
can be downloaded to the TV Guide On Screen system, so these
are subject to change also. The TV Guide On Screen interactive
program guide provides listings for cable-ready, cable box, and
digital cable services as well as over-the-air broadcast. It does not
provide listings for satellite services.
Tips
The TV Guide On Screen system automatically comes
up when you use the TV or ON/OFF button on the
remote to turn on the TV. You can turn off this feature
by selecting Setup, highlight Change default options
and press OK. Highlight General default options and
press OK. Press the down arrow button to highlight
auto guide, select off, and press OK.
Also, since the program information provided by the
TV Guide On Screen system is based on your locale, you
will need to run Setup again if you move to a different
