GUIDE Plus+ (available only in areas
with GUIDE Plus+ service)
Introduction to the GUIDE
Plus+ System
The GUIDE Plus+ ® system is a free interactive
programme guide. It displays up to seven days of
programme listings, including programme titles,
promotions, and broadcast information. GUIDE
Plus+ data for the television programme listings
are carried by your local broadcast host channel
and are received through your aerial, set top box
receiver, or direct cable connection from the wall.
Visit www.europe.guideplus.com for a list of all
European host channels.
These are just a few of the ways to use the GUIDE
