• The TV Guide On Screen interactive program guide supports cable-ready and cable box as well as over-the-air broadcast. It
does not provide listings for satellite services. TV Guide program data and schedules are updated daily through your antenna
or cable system once you have completed the TV Guide On Screen setup.
• Refer to the owner's manual of the connected set top box as well.
• Power off the recorder overnight or when not in use to allow the TV Guide On Screen system to receive and update its
listings. If a cable box is connected to this recorder, leave the cable box turned on at all times.
