  • Add channels to “My Channels” that allows for access to their favorite channels and programs directly from Home and the Live Guide.
  • Easily find recommended TV shows and movies that are airing on live TV right now from Home.
  • Browse live content collections to quickly jump to sports, news, movies, and kids content that’s live right now and coming up in the future.

The new guide has been rolling out on devices including Android TV, iOS, and Fire TV recently. We’ll post updates when more devices get the update.
