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, 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, by channel or by genre. It also
allows you to automatically set your viewing and recording
selections quickly and easily.
Before you can start using the TV Guide On Screen™ system,
you'll need to set it up.
