Lock / Unlock video window

When you enter the GUIDE Plus+ system, the channel you were watching remains visible in the video window. The date stamp above the window lets you know the channel, date and time.

The default setting for this window is ‘locked’, as indicated by a closed padlock icon above the video window. When locked, the video window always shows the channel you were previously watching as you move up and down through the listings grid.

If you prefer, you can unlock the video window so that as you highlight different channels in the listings grid, the current program showing on that channel is shown in the video window.

1 Use the	buttons to highlight a
channel logo.

Channel logos are displayed to the left of program titles.

2 Press the RED Action button (Unlock).

The padlock icon above the video window becomes unlocked. It remains unlocked for the remainder of your current TV viewing session.

If you want to lock the video window again, follow the same procedure. The RED Action button will now act as Lock.

Channel mosaic screen

You can switch the display style of channels in Grid Area, Schedule Area or My TV Area from a list to a mosaic of channel icons by pressing the YELLOW Action button. Select the channel icon you want using the cursor buttons, then press ENTER to return to the previous screen on that channel.

Areas

The GUIDE Plus+ system consists of seven Areas. All Areas can be accessed from the Menu bar.

•Grid – The GUIDE Plus+ Home Area. Displays TV listings information for the next seven days by time and channel.

•Search – Search for TV programs by category (eg., Sport), subcategory (eg., Football) or keyword.

•My TV – Set up a profile and receive recommendations according to your preferences.

•Schedule – Shows all scheduled recordings.

•Info – Area for additional information, such as weather (not available in all regions).

•Editor – Change channel settings.

•Setup – Setup the GUIDE Plus+ system.

The Grid Area

The Grid screen is the main TV listings screen of GUIDE Plus+ 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 panel ads.

Note

1If you’re using an external tuner (satellite tuner, for example), there will be a short delay of a couple of seconds before it tunes to the channel after selecting it. This is normal.
