THE AOLTVTM PROGRAM GUIDE
The AOLTV Program Guide offers complete TV listings and much more. It helps you make sense of the large number of channels and options on your TV. It can record a program with your VCR and remind you when a program is about to start.
The guide lists programs according to their time slot and channel. It also includes channel categories and a TV win- dow, which allows you to preview the program you choose or watch a program while browsing the listings.
