Program Guide

To see what's showing, press the GUIDE button to display the on-screen
program guide. The guide holds up to 7 days of programs for high-definition
receivers and 3 ½ days of programs for standard-definition receivers.
The current programs are listed on the left side of the guide. The future
programs are off to the right. Move the yellow highlight onto the current
program you want to watch and press SELECT to tune to it. If the program is
in the future, press SELECT, then "Autotune" and then "Set Autotune." This
schedules your receiver to automatically tune to the program when it airs.
This way, you can be sure never to miss a favorite program, or you can use
autotune to record a program using a connected video recorder.
You can navigate in the guide three ways: use the ARROW buttons to move
one cell at a time up/down/left/right; use the CHAN/PAGE button to scroll a
whole page up or down; or type in the channel number to go directly there.
Look for the color-button hints at the bottom of the screen for short cuts
(use the GREEN button to move ahead in time 12 hours, once there use the
red key to come back 12 hours).
If you press GUIDE twice, you'll see a screen that lets you filter the guide.
See Chapter 2 "Program Guide Features and Options, Filtering the Guide" for
details.
