Introduction to the IPG
What is the IPG?
The Interactive Program Guide (IPG) is a convenient way to find out what’s on your TV
and to view a list of upcoming programs. Lists of programs are available for any date in
the next 7 days.
Features of the IPG
The following list provides an overview of the features of the IPG:
·
With the browsing features, you can see what’s on TV for a particular channel,
program theme, or program title.
·
Instant program descriptions appear while using the browsing feature to see what’s
on TV. It is not necessary to go to another function to get detailed program
information.
·
·
·
·
·
While using the IPG, you can use Parental Control to restrict viewing of programs
according to rating, time, or channel.
Reminder Timers help you keep track of upcoming programs by giving you a
reminder on the screen before the program starts.
VCR Timers tune your Explorer DHCT to a particular channel at the proper time to
record a program.
While using the IPG, you can use Quick Record to start recording a program
immediately.
Your current program is reduced to fit in the corner of your screen when you use any
of the main IPG functions. You don’t have to miss a minute of the program you are
watching.
·
·
You can purchase Pay-Per-View events with the press of a key without having to
make a phone call, if available in your area.
While using the IPG, you can set up unlimited Favorite Channels for a quick browse
of your favorites—right at your fingertips.
