press OK to watch TV.
What to Expect
The next time you turn on your TV, the GUIDE Plus+ system will appear on the
screen. The following examples explain what you might see:
• If all of the program information has been sent to your TV, the GUIDE Plus+
system appears with all of your TV program listings.
• If the program information hasn’t been sent to your TV yet, an outline of
the GUIDE (without TV program listings) will appear on the screen.
Program information is usually sent to your TV at night.
• If the TV detected that you have multiple cable companies in your area,
STEP 5: Choosing Your Channel Lineup appears.
Features of the GUIDE Plus+ system are explained in Chapter 2.
To clear the guide from your screen, press CLEAR or GUIDE on the
