Questions about program guide (1 Viewer)

I read on this forum, I believe, that it is NOT necessary to have a tv card in order to use the EPG program feature. Is this true?

Secondly, I find the instructions for setting up EPG extremely vague and confusing. Can someone recommend any reference that has a true "Step-by-step" example of how to set this up?

Sorry in advance if I posted this in the wrong place. Am new to all this.

Thank you!

Thank you for your reply and your welcome to the forum!

I'm glad to hear the EPG will work without a tv card. I want to test this out before investing in a good tuner card.

I'm sorry to say that I feel pretty helpless with the instructions. I am trying to get OTA programming from the Washington DC stations but simply can't figure this out.
