Using the TV guide

A YouView Box FAQ

The guide is your one stop shop for all your channels. You can see what’s on now, what’s on in the next 7 days and even what’s been on in the last 7 days. Let’s show you what you can do:

Browsing the guide is easy:
 

  • Scroll up and down to browse through channels one at a time
  • Press channel up and channel down to skip a whole page
  • Scroll left and right to browse through the programmes on the channel you’ve highlighted
  • Press fast forward and rewind to skip forwards or backwards by 24 hours

Filtering channels is a quick way to find all the channels for one genre. Perfect for channel surfing: 

  1. In the guide, press the blue button

  3. Press OK
