What To Expect

The next time you turn on your TV after setting up the TV Guide On Screen system, the Guide
will appear on the screen. The following examples explain what you might see:
• If all of the program information has been sent to your TV, the TV Guide On Screen system
appears with all of your TV program listings.
• If the program information hasn't been sent to your TV yet, an outline of the TV Guide On
Screen system (without TV program listings) will appear on the screen. Program information
is usually sent several times a day. Turn off your TV when it's not in use to receive updated
listing information.
• If more than one cable company services your area, or your cable provider has multiple
service levels for your area, you may be prompted to choose your Channel Lineup. A
channel lineup represents the specifi c service you receive at your location. On this screen
you might have to choose between cable providers and service levels from your provider.
In most cases you will have at least two choices, but in larger cities you may have several.
Selecting the provider and service level that you have allows the TV Guide On Screen
system to download listings that precisely match the programming you receive. If you
aren't sure of your specifi c service, you may need to repeat this procedure until you receive
current program listings.
Features of the TV Guide On Screen system are explained in Chapter 3.
To clear the guide from your screen, press CLEAR or GUIDE on the remote control.

Watching TV

If you have both analog and digital cable channels these will be put into the same channel list.
To tell the difference between these channels, press the INFO button and look in the channel
banner for these things: a subchannel, the format, and resolution the TV is receiving.
• Analog channels only display one channel number. Digital channels received through the
digital cable card also have one channel number. Digital channels received through cable
have a primary channel and a subchannel. In the example below, 6 is the primary channel;
1 is the subchannel.
• Analog channels are sent in a 4:3 format. Digital channels can be sent in a format of 4:3, but
usually 16:9.
• Analog channels are sent in a resolution up to 480i. Digital channels are sent in a resolution
of 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.
