===Programming features===
====Electronic program guide====
[[Electronic program guide]]s and interactive program guides provide users of television, radio, and other media applications with continuously updated menus displaying [[broadcast programming]] or scheduling information for current and upcoming programming. Some guides, such as [[ITV1|ITV]], also feature backward scrolling to promote their catch-up content.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.itv.com/tvguide/|title=Today - TV Guide|website=itv.com|access-date=28 April 2018|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171201203417/http://www.itv.com/tvguide/ |archive-date=1 December 2017}}</ref>

====Favorites====
This feature allows the user to choose preferred channels, making them easier and quicker to access; this is handy with the wide range of digital channels on offer. The concept of favourite channels is superficially similar to that of the "[[Bookmark (digital)|bookmark]]" function offered in many web browsers.

====Timer====
The [[Timer#Electronic timers|timer]] allows the user to program and enable the box to switch between channels at certain times: this is handy to record from more than one channel while the user is out. The user still needs to program the VCR or DVD recorder.
