The EPG, built into every plan.

Seven days of listings across the live channels. The player pulls the guide in on first sign-in and keeps it current after that.

You see what is on now, what is next and what is coming this week, and you open the channel from the listing rather than scrolling the list.

Most channels let you scroll backwards in the guide and play something that already aired, inside the window each broadcaster sets.

In TiviMate a program can be recorded from the listing onto a USB stick or the box's storage.

The guide follows the device clock. A game at the wrong hour means the device time zone or the player's guide offset points somewhere you are not.

• Put the device time zone on Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific, whichever applies.
• In TiviMate or IBO Player, the guide time-shift should sit at zero unless you deliberately want one.
• MAG and Formuler boxes want us.pool.ntp.org as their time server.
