FEATURES (CONT’D)

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.

Find Channels Quickly

AOLTV has renumbered your channels to provide consis- tency across the country and to help you find the chan- nels you want. Now channels that show the same type of programs are grouped together, so you can surf from news show to news show or family show to family show.

Channel Categories

Find programs by subject matter. If you’re interested in news programs, click News. If you’re interested in finan- cial topics, click Money. A miniguide listing all the channels in the category appears.

Scheduler

Scheduler lists programs you want to record with your VCR and programs about which you’ve chosen to be reminded. You can add new programs or change times or channels you are recording.
