Q. What are the “pictures” on the left side of the screens?
A. TV Guide Interactive has “clickable” promotional content that gives you ideas on what to
watch and more. You can access the panels on the left side of the screens using the ▲▼◄
buttons on the remote. Highlight the panel and press the OK to see a detailed, interactive
information screen. You can also access the text promotion bar located at the bottom of listings
screens for more information.
Q. What is the graphic bar that appears when I change channels?
A. TV Guide Interactive’s Flip bar appears for a few seconds as you’re changing channels to
provide important information about programs. You will find the name of the current program,
start and end times, channel number and a promotion on the left side of the bar. For more in-
depth information on a program, press INFO on your remote. Also use the ▲▼◄ ► buttons on
your remote to change to Browse mode to see what’s on other channels and at other times
without missing the program you’re currently watching. (Note: On DVR boxes you need to
press the OK button and then the arrow buttons to Browse ).
Q. How do I get information on programs?
A. TV Guide Interactive provides detailed information on programs as well as movies and
sporting events. While in a listings screen, or while tuned to a program, you can access
information by pressing the INFO button on your remote. Information includes program details
like actors, ratings, and a brief program synopsis. You can also set Reminders, place Parental
Control Locks, order pay-per-view movies and sporting events, and see other times the program
is airing – all from one screen. To remove the information screen and return to watching
television, press the EXIT button on the remote.
Q. What is the red light on my box and/or what is the envelope on the screen?
A. Occasionally your cable provider may send a message (kind of like e-mail) to let you know of
new services and special promotions. To read the message, go to the Main Menu and select
Messages . You can keep or delete the message once you have read it.
