Add A Location
When you first launch What's On, you'll be prompted to create a location. Give it a name, choose United States/Canada, and then you're ready to select your provider. Type in your zip code or use the "Locate Me" feature. Select your format (Cable, Over the Air, Satellite) and your provider (if applicable).
Customize Your Channel List
Once your provider is selected, you'll be able to fully customize your channel list for this location. Go through the full line-up of channels and select/deselect any channels that you please. Use the "Select All" or "Select None" buttons at the bottom for extra help. You can even put the channels in any order that you please! Simply click the "Reorder" button at the bottom and drag them into any order that you wish!
Browse The Lineup
The browse view is very easy to use. Use your finger to slide the view up and down to view the channels in your list. To change the time, tap either of the buttons in the top left/right hand corners of the screen or slide your finger left/right across the browse view. If you really want full control, tap the date at the top of the screen. You'll be able to jump to any time you please, including prime time (8PM) and the current time. Also, if you tap on a channel on the left side, you can view the programming for that channel only.
Get The Details
For each show listed in the view, you have access to extended show information by simply tapping on the name of the show. You'll be presented with the following: Title, Subtitle, Runtime, Description, HD, New, CC, and for movies, a 5 star rating! Below each description, you'll find buttons for "Add to Favorites" (adds the current show to your favorites list) and "Email Info" (sends you an email with the details of the selected show). This screen is also accessible when browsing through Favorite Shows and Search Results.
View Favorite Shows
What's On allows you to add any show in your guide to your "Favorites" list. From the Favorites tab in the application, you'll be presented with a list of all of the shows you've added as favorites. You can sort the shows alphabetically, by date, or by a custom order. For each of the shows in your list, you'll be able to see the next time the show is on, what channel, and whether or not it's new. Tap on the show name to view all of the upcoming times for that particular show. Tap again for show details.
Search For Shows
Simply type all or part of the title of a show that you're looking for. You'll be presented with a list of show times based on your customized channel list. Similar to favorites, you can sort these results by title and date but also by genre (movies, sports, news, other). Tap on the name of a show to view all upcoming times for that show, and tap once more to view the details for a particular episode.
Extended Preferences
Only want your favorites and search results to show when shows are in High Definition? How about only when a show time is a new episode? From the preferences pane (available from the Settings menu), you can specify whether or not you want your favorites and search results to show repeat shows or HD channels. Other settings include turning off the quick index bar for the browse view and showing long show descriptions.
