The Program Guide

Note: The program guide is described in detail in the previous chapter, Using the Satellite System’s Features, starting on page 27.

Selecting Program Guides from the Main menu displays a menu with a variety of display options available. You can select a specific User Profile, the system default guide (Detail Guide or the Grid Guide- according to your preferences), or the Logo or Channel Guide, Viewing Suggestions, or change the active profile.
