The GUIDE Plus+ System
Overview
The GUIDE Plus+ ® system is an interactive
on-screen television programming guide
integrated into the Recorder. The system is
available at no monthly charge and offers
programme listings for all major channels
received in your home, one-touch recording,
search by genre, recommendations accord-
ing to your profile and more.
You can start the GUIDE Plus+ system by
pressing GUIDE at anytime except during
playback and editing.
In this new era of ever-increasing number of
channels, the GUIDE Plus+ system offers
television viewers a convenient way to find
out what's on right now or in the next week, by
channel or by genre. The GUIDE Plus+
system also allows viewers to automatically
set their viewing and recording selections
quickly and easily. The TV listings information
displayed in the GUIDE Plus+ system is
obtained directly from sources in the broad-
casting industry. This information is received
and processed by Gemstar-TV Guide and
"broadcasted" via so called "Host Channels"
directly to your Recorder equipped with the
GUIDE Plus+ system.
In order to receive the correct TV listings
information for your country / region you need
to "setup" your GUIDE Plus+ system and
"download" TV listings information. The initial
download may take up to 24 hours. Once you
have received the first download of TV listings
data, all future updates are automatic.
