What To Expect

The next time you turn on your TV after setting up the TV Guide On Screen system, the Guide will appear on the screen. The following examples explain what you might see:

•If all of the program information has been sent to your TV, the TV Guide On Screen system appears with all of your TV program listings.

•If the program information hasn’t been sent to your TV yet, an outline of the TV Guide On Screen system (without TV program listings) will appear on the screen. Program information is usually sent several times a day. Turn off your TV when it’s not in use to receive updated listing information.

•If more than one cable company services your area, or your cable provider has multiple service levels for your area, you may be prompted to choose your Channel Lineup. A channel lineup represents the specific service you receive at your location. On this screen you might have to choose between cable providers and service levels from your provider. In most cases you will have at least two choices, but in larger cities you may have several. Selecting the provider and service level that you have allows the TV Guide On Screen system to download listings that precisely match the programming you receive. If you aren’t sure of your specific service, you may need to repeat this procedure until you receive current program listings.

Features of the TV Guide On Screen system are explained in Chapter 3.

To clear the guide from your screen, press CLEAR or GUIDE on the remote control.

Watching TV

If you have both analog and digital cable channels these will be put into the same channel list. To tell the difference between these channels, press the INFO button and look in the channel banner for these things: a subchannel, the format, and resolution the TV is receiving.

•Analog channels only display one channel number. Digital channels received through the digital cable card also have one channel number. Digital channels received through cable have a primary channel and a subchannel. In the example below, 6 is the primary channel; 1 is the subchannel.

•Analog channels are sent in a 4:3 format. Digital channels can be sent in a format of 4:3, but usually 16:9.

•Analog channels are sent in a resolution up to 480i. Digital channels are sent in a resolution of 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.
