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 clock in the top left of the screen. You'll be able to jump to any time you please, including prime time (user configurable) and the current time. Also, if you tap on a channel on the left side, you can view the programming for that channel only.

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.
