Using the IPG
Your set-top may provide an Interactive
Program Guide (IPG) which organizes
programs and events into listings by
channel, theme, or title. Your cable service
provider should offer a user’s guide for this
service, if it is available in your area.
The current channel continues to display in
the upper right corner of the IPG. The
upper left corner displays information
about the highlighted program.

The
keys provide additional
functions that vary, based on the current
IPG screen. For example, in many
screens you can use the
