Every channel row has a Guide button. Tapping the row itself starts watching; the button opens the schedule. On a wide screen the schedule also fills a column beside the channel list.
Today, and other days
The guide opens on today, scrolled to the programme that is on right now, so you never have to hunt for your place. Along the top is a strip of dates. Tap one to see that day — backwards to catch up on something you missed, forwards to see what is coming and book a recording.
What you can do with a programme
- On now — Watch starts it, From the start begins it at the beginning.
- Already finished — Watch plays the recording, if your provider keeps one for that channel.
- Not started yet — Record books it. See Booking a recording of a programme later today.
How far back the guide is useful depends on your provider: they decide how many days of recordings they keep. The app measures this for your subscription and does not offer days it knows are beyond that.
