Advanced Program Guide™

The term “Large Cell” means that there are two lines of text associated with each program title. While this provides more space for the program titles and Channel Tags, it also reduces the number of channels for which information can be seen on the screen at one time.

The largest area of the PROGRAM GUIDE (Large Cell) is made up of cells known as the program grid. Some cells have arrows indicating that the program started at an earlier time, or continues until a later time, than the time displayed on the grid. The length of each grid cell approximates the duration of the associated program.

A time line spanning the width of the guide indicates the show times of the programs being displayed. The list of blocks running down the left-hand side are the “channel tags.” Depending on the Guide Sort (Name or Number) option specified in the Guide pop-up menu, the tags may display the channel numbers or call signs. This will dictate whether the channels are listed by channel number or alphabetically by call sign.
