Electronic Program Guide
The Tube features a built-in Electronic Program
Guide (EPG), that lets you view TV listings right
within the application.
Setting up your EPG
Once you’ve searched for channels, you’ll need to set up an EPG
provider if you want to access more detailed programming guide
information, allowing you to view show times, program record-
ings and access show details.
TIP
All of these Settings can be altered in The Tube’s Prefer-
ences. You can find them by selecting:
“The Tube > Preferences > EPG” from the Menu bar.
