Setting up the GUIDE Plus+™ system

The GUIDE Plus+™ system is a free, interactive on- screen television programming guide. The system offers program listings for all major channels, one-touch recording, search by genre, recommendations according to your profile and more.

For the GUIDE Plus+ system to function correctly, it is important that you set the language and country correctly in the Setup Navigator, and that you have performed a scan for available channels, as these are all used by the GUIDE Plus+ system. If any of these things are not yet set, please run the Setup Navigator first (see Switching on and setting up on page 59).

TV listings information is received via ‘host channels’. In order to receive the correct TV listings information for your country or region you need to set up the GUIDE Plus+ system and ‘download’ the TV listings information. The initial download can take up to 24 hours, but once this is done, all future updates are automatic.
