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, 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.
