About the SlingPlayer Guide

Here's some general info about what the SlingPlayer Guide is.

The SlingPlayer Guide is an easy way for you to see what's on. It's an interactive guide, customized specifically for the program sources (satellite, cable, or digital over-the-air) in your area.

With the SlingPlayer Guide, you can:

  • See what's on right now
  • See what'll be on in the future
  • Get a quick summary of program info
  • Switch to that program

The SlingPlayer Guide is a grid that uses columns to represent program times, and rows to show the programs for each channel. The leftmost column shows the programs that are on right now. (The SlingPlayer Guide automatically advances every half hour.) You can also set up Favorites, which are the channels that you like to watch most often.

You can change channels any of three ways:

  • Double-clicking the show that you want to see in the SlingPlayer Guide. (If the program hasn't started yet, you'll get a message telling you.)
  • Using SlingRemote
  • Pressing the channel numbers on your computer's keyboard.
