Getting around in the Guide

You can use the Guide to get detailed information about the channels and programs it contains. Here’s how:

To highlight different program listings in the Guide, use the arrow buttons on your remote

1 control to move up or down in the channel list, or forward and backward in time.

To move up and down through the channel list a full page at a time, press the CHAN

2 and CHAN buttons on your remote control.

To move the Guide directly to a specific channel, press the 0-9 number buttons on your

3 remote control to enter the desired channel number.

As you highlight each program listing in the Guide, information about the program appears

4 in the Channel Banner. To see more information on a highlighted program, press the INFO button on your remote control.

The Program Detail screen appears, showing complete information about the highlighted program and a list of actions you might want to take related to that program. To return to the Guide, highlight the Back item from the on-screen list and press the SELECT button.

To get information on a channel (rather than a program),

5 use the arrow keys on the remote control to highlight the channel entry in the Guide. The Channel Banner displays information about the high lighted channel.
