Live TV Guide

The Live TV Guide is a semi-transparent guide to whats on TV. It can be accessed while watching Live TV by pressing the Live TV button on the remote. The guide immediately displays details of the selected programme (the default is what you are watching now), details of what is currently airing on all channels, and when a channel is selected details of what programmes are airing in the near future.

From the channel list, pressing the FF and RW buttons on the remote advances / decrements the time in thirty minute increments, changing the display to represent the programmes airing at that time. From the programme list pressing these buttons cycles through different channels.

You can press the select key whilst any programme is highlighted to access record options.

Press the Live TV button again or the Clear button on the remote to remove the guide from the screen.

You can change the channels and/or programmes displayed in the live guide by pressing the Enter key on the remote whilst the Live TV guide is on-screen.

The following configuration items can be changed:

  • Channels - configures which channels will be shown in the guide. Options are all channels, channels that you receive (ie omiting those that you do not subscribe to), and favourite channels.
  • Day - the date to show programme guide data for.
  • Time - the time to show programme guide data for.
  • Filtering - Choose whether you want to filter programmes based on genre (toggles on or off)
  • Choose Filter - Allows you to select a genre to filter on. Only programmes that are of the genre selected will be shown, others will be either greyed out or not shown. The genre filter is only applied if the "filtering" setting is "on".
