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.
