The Grid Area
The Grid is the main TV listings screen of the GUIDE Plus+ system and is the first screen that you see when you press GUIDE. You can see TV listings for the next seven days, starting with the current day.
When you highlight a program in the Grid, you can see information about it in the Information Box, including title, synopsis, channel, source, time and length. If there is an i symbol in the Information Box, it means that there is an extended synopsis available. Press the INFO button to see it.
In some countries, you can also see a rating for a particular program (mostly movies). These ratings are provided by local partners, such as TV magazines.
From the Grid Area you can:
•View and scroll through program listings
•Read program synopsis
•Tune to a program that’s currently showing1
•Set a program to record
•Lock or unlock the video window.
•Access Information panels.
Note
1If you’re using an external tuner (satellite tuner, for example), there will be a short delay of a couple of seconds while it tunes to the channel. This is normal.
