Custom Programs

This page is used to add programming information to an existing station. You can only program custom stations; TV stations (if present) are auto-programmed by a Channel Guide Server. You use the Custom Programs page to manually create programming data and associate it with a Custom Station. For example, you may want to modify the Channel Guide so that "Monday Night Football" is shown in the 8–10 P.M. time slot on Monday nights from September through January.

Add Custom Programs

TTo add custom programming to a custom station:

1.Click on Custom Programs to display the Custom Stations page.

2.The "Custom Station" dropdown list shows all currently defined custom stations. Select a Custom Station from this list and then click Add New Custom Program.

3.Use the fields explained below to create custom programming for the selected station. Click on the header titles as appropriate to sort the entries in the list.

4.Use the horizontal slider bar to display all fields. When done, click Add. The program will be added to the specified time slot and you will see a view similar to Figure 12 when you mouseover the item in the Channel Guide on the user interface.

Note When TV Station program data is updated from the Channel Guide Server, all expired Custom Station program data (more than 14 days old) is purged.
