In installations using a cable box, thebox MUST be left on continuously.3. Q: How long are the “data transmissions?”Answer: TV Guide On Screen data is transmitted at varying times, usually four times per day,and the cycles last approximately three (3) hours. The TV Guide On Screen system only requiresone transmission a day to maintain up-to-date program listings. Because the TV Guide OnScreen device must be powered off in order to receive new information, multiple transmissionsare conveniently scheduled early to mid-morning and early afternoon hours.5. Q: How often do host transmissions take place?Answer: Channel and setup data used to create the channel lineup is transmitted continuously,24 hours a day - 7 days a week. Program information that contains details about each programis usually transmitted four times a day.6. Q: How do I add or delete a channel? Can the order in which a channel isdisplayed be changed?Answer: Yes. Refer to the “Change Channel Display or Channel Editor” section.7. Q: I’m not able to receive some channels displayed on the TV Guide On Screenlisting. Why is that? Does this indicate a problem with my equipment?Answer: Not necessarily. Cable TV subscribers receive channel data for all available channelsyour cable TV provider offers. In order to view all the channels, you’d also have to subscribe to allthe channels. If you are connected to an off-air antenna the channel data you receive oftenrepresents a viewing area larger than you would typically be able to receive. Your location, thetype of TV antenna you are using and you distance from each stations transmitting antenna willall determine which channels are viewable from your location. Once you’ve determined whichchannels can be received, all other can be removed from the TV Guide On Screen listing. Seethe xx section for instructions on how to remove channels.8.
