NextPVR provides an on-screen TV guide for selecting shows to watch or record. Before you are able to view programme details in the guide you will need to populate the listings by configuring your EPG source(s).

You can move around the TV Guide grid using the mouse and keyboard, or your remote control. Details for the currently highlighted show are shown below the guide grid.
