How to view Grid, Channel and On Now guides

Three guide views available

You can view programs in three different views:

  • Grid guide:
    Shows programs that are currently showing and what's coming up, displayed by channel and in 30 minute intervals

  • Channel lineup guide:
    All programs for a specific channel are listed

  • On now guide:
    Shows programs that are currently showing, as well as those immediately following, including box art and program name, channel, and length of program

You can choose which guide view you prefer in the
Guide style
menu in your on-screen settings.
