TV Guide

The KiSS TV Guide is an online Electronic Program Guide (EPG) that enables you to browse information on current and upcoming TV programs. To use it to browse program information on your available TV stations, you will need to add some stations first.

Adding stations

1.From the TV Guide main screen, select “Add a favorite” from the “Favorite stations” menu bar. You will now be presented with a list of countries. Select yours. For additional countries, press the NEXT CHAPTER or PREVIOUS CHAPTER buttons on your remote control.

2.After selecting your country you will be presented with a list of available channels for your country. Select a channel available to you.

3.Select “Add favorite” from the bottom of the screen that comes up.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 for adding additional stations. Stars will appear next to the stations you have added to the list so you do not have to remember which ones you have added. Press BACK to return to the main screen when you are done adding stations.

THE FAVORITE STATIONS BAR

What’s on now?: Once you have added some stations to your favorites you are ready to browse the TV program. Press “What’s on now?” from the “Favorite stations” bar to get a full view of what is showing on your stations now and in the next two hours. If you have added more stations than we are able to show on screen, press the arrows in either the top or bottom of the left hand stations list.

As a default the grid view will show you two hours of programming at a time. The vertical white line on the screen indicates the time right now. To reduce the screen to a one-hour view, just press the ZOOM button on your remote. Pressing it again will return the screen to two-hour view. To browse programs later in the day, press the NEXT CHAPTER button on the remote. To see programs earlier in the day, use the PREVIOUS CHAPTER button.

To get information on a particular show, point your cursor to the station it is on and move to the right using the directional buttons on your remote, then press OK on the item you would like to learn more about. You will be able to see date, time of broadcast, duration, and - depending on the information available - episode number and a description. If what you have selected is a movie (movies show up as purple blocks in the grid view), you will be able to do an IMDb (Internet Movie Database) search on the particular movie for more information. To do this, simply press the IMDb button in the bottom of the screen.

What’s on?: The purpose of the “What’s on?” screen is to give you an overview of what is showing on your favorite stations on different times of the day or up to six days ahead. Want to know what is showing tonight? Just press “Evening” and you will be shown everything showing on your stations from 8 p.m.

Favorites: Enter Favorites to see a list of the stations you have added. If you are unhappy with the order in which your stations are listed, just use the left or right navigational buttons on your remote to move a selected item up or down the list.

Press either one of the items on the list to enter the “What’s on?” screen for that particular station. Should you choose to remove the station from your favorites, simply select “Delete favorite” from this screen.

The Favorite shows bar: Before you are able to browse information on your favorite shows in this bar, you will first need to add some to your favorites.

Adding favorite shows: There are two ways of adding favorite shows: Searching and browsing.

If you would like to search for a show to add to your favorites, please enter “Add a favorite” from the “favorite shows” bar. This brings up a search menu from where you are able to enter either part or the entire name of the show you wish to search for. Once you find what you are searching for, press the name of the show you wish to add from the results screen. Pressing a show brings up all instances of the show for this week on the channel. From here you can either press “Add for this channel” to add this as a favorite for this specific channel or press “Add for all channels” if you would like the show to be added as a favorite regardless of which channel it is on.

If you would rather like to add shows to your favorites by browsing for them in the grid view, this is also possible. Just enter the grid by either selecting “What’s on now?” or “What’s on?” from the “Favorite stations” bar and browse your way to the show you wish to add. Once you have found it, enter it and press the “When is it on?” button in the bottom of the screen. Select an instance of the show on the results screen and press either “Add for this channel” to add this as a favorite for this specific channel or press “Add for all channels” if you would like the show to be added as a favorite regardless of which channel it is on.

Favorite shows will turn up in an orange color on the program grid.
