Guide Times
For the most part, the Guides drop-down menu provides easy access to future time periods in the
guide. Simply select one of the hour offsets from the current time.
After a few seconds, the selected guide will appear.
Another type of guide that could be offered is a list-type guide.
These list-type guides do not represent channels and time, but rather
a list of possible options. These guide types are very rare.
The Guide Times pop-up menu
Class Filters
One more way that you can filter your guide is through the Classes drop-down menu. From this menu
you can select classifications such as PPV, Subscrptn, Attractns, etc.
The Subscrptn option will exclude the PPV channels from the on-
screen guide.
The PPV option will list only channels offering PPV programs.
The Schedule option will list channels that have events that are
scheduled to be viewed or taped. Only the currently selected guide
period is included in this filter process.
