Current day of the week, date and time.

Station logo (when available) and program description of the currently highlighted station.

Schedule grid, which includes:

Station names, numbers, and program titles. These appear in ascending numerical order from top to bottom (unless you have changed the listing to alphabetical order. See “Setting the Station Order” on page 49 for details).

Time slots. These appear left to right, with the current time’s programming in the leftmost position.

Page indicator. This shows you approximately which page you’re on, relative to all the pages in the guide. The size of the indicator is proportional to the overall size of the entire program guide.
