system* is a free, interactive on-
screen television programming guide.

The system offers
program listings for all major channels, one-touch
recording, search by genre, recommendations according
to your profile and more. The GUIDE Plus+ system is a
convenient way to find out what's on right now or during
the coming week, by channel or by genre. The GUIDE
Plus+ system also allows you to automatically set your
viewing and recording selections quickly and easily.
In order to receive the correct TV listings information for
your country or region you need to set up the GUIDE
Plus+ system and ‘download’ the TV listings information.
