Schedule Provided by an Old TV + Converter Box
Earlier this year, my wife and I splurged on a 32″ Samsung flat-screen television set that was on sale. The picture is great, but there is one problem.
The Info button provides no information on upcoming tv schedules. Why can an old tv with a cheap converter box be able to provide this information while the brand new Samsung with a digital receiver cannot?
It’s nice to know what is going to be coming on, especially when you turn the tv right before the hour. For example, if I turn the TV on at 7:59, I can only see program information for the 7-8 hour. Whereas, with my old tv and converter box, I can see what shows are coming on next.
I’m a big fan of free tv; Samsung should realize that not everyone wants cable/satellite.
Unfortunately my exchange with Samsung HD Tech did not produce a solution:
My question:
I have an older TV hooked up to a converter box and watch over-the-air tv. In addition to the show name and description, the EPG button provides a schedule showing what shows are coming on next.
When watching ota tv on the Samsung Series 3 300, the Info button only displays the name and description of the program that is currently playing. The Info button does not display the schedule for the channel. Is there any way the Samsung tv can display the schedule information? Being able to check what shows are coming on next from the tv is very convenient.
Thanks,

spgass,The INFO button will show only the current channel. Unfortunately, there isn’t a schedule “grid” that shows upcoming show titles.
