on when the feature is set up and if the device is in use.

times daily, so it may be updated within 6 to 10 hours.
6. Q: I completed the initial setup for my TV Guide On
Screen hours ago, but when I try to turn it on, a screen
message tells me to input the correct setup information.
What’s wrong?
A: There are several possibilities:
a) Initial setup was done incorrectly. (i.e., you entered wrong
country, ZIP/postal code, or cable box information.)
b) The cable box was turned OFF. The television must be OFF
and the cable box ON.
c) The VCR, DVD, or Satellite box was left ON.
d) A/V cables: The VCR was turned OFF. If the connection
includes stereo cables with cable box to VCR, stereo
connection from VCR to the television, the VCR must be
tuned to the output channel and powered ON.
7. Q: I had a power outage. Do I need to go through initial
setup of the TV Guide On Screen system again?
A: No. The information you entered is in a protected part of
the TV Guide On Screen system memory.
Note: For Cable box users, the TV must be OFF and the Cable
box must be left ON for the TV Guide On Screen system to
receive channel line-up information.
