About the TV Guide On Screen™ system

The TV Guide On Screen™ system is a free, interactive on- screen television program guide. The system offers program listings, searching by keyword, timer recording, reminders and more. The TV Guide On Screen™ system is a convenient way to find out what’s on right now or during the coming week. Listings can be arranged by channel or by genre. It also allows you to automatically set your viewing and recording selections quickly and easily.

Before you can use the TV Guide On Screen™ system, you’ll need to set it up.
