iO User’s Guide
INTRODUCTION TO THE MAIN MENU
WHAT IS THE MAIN MENU?
Do you want a quick way to get to your Channel Guide, On Demand, Active Rentals,
iO Games, Enhanced TV and iO Showcase? The Main Menu provides quick access to
all these services.
While you are in the Main Menu, you can still watch TV. The Main Menu maintains
your TV-viewing experience and by using the
CH +/-
key on your remote control, it
allows you to change channels within the video window.
Note:
When you access the Main Menu, your screens may appear slightly different from the
sample screens shown in this Guide.
Pressing the
iO
button on your remote brings you
to
the Main Menu where you’ll have
access to everything iO has to offer, like an interactive searchable Channel Guide,
On Demand movies and shows, Active Rentals, iO Games, Enhanced TV and iO Showcase.
Important:
Before you can use your remote control for the Main Menu, you must program
the remote to work with your Digital Cable Box. Refer to the Quick Reference Guide or the
Remote Control User’s Guide for instructions.
