How to use the TV Guide

You can get to all channels through the TV Guide, see live programmes, and look ahead up to seven days to find out what’s scheduled on each channel.

If you have a Freesat 4K recordable Set Top Box, the Backwards Guide functionality will allow you to scroll through the TV Guide on your Set Top Box for the past 7 days and in some cases, watch a programme that you’ve missed.

Finding the TV Guide

  • Select the TV Guide from the Home Screen
  • When you open your TV Guide you will see what’s on now and you can scroll across to see what's on later or backwards to see what you have missed.
  • You can also find the TV Guide on the Freesat website.

Using the TV Guide

  • Use the arrow keys on your remote to navigate through the TV Guide. The arrow keys are usually labelled up, down, left, and right.
  • Scroll through the channels and time slots to see the shows airing now and what’s coming up.

Show info

  • Select a specific show by highlighting it using the arrow keys and pressing OK on your remote. Information about the programme will be displayed alongside accessibility features available and the if you have a recordable box, the option to record.
  • Press the OK on your remote to watch the programme live on the channel you’ve selected.
