The new lineup starts as a blank slate that you fill with only the channels that you want it to contain. Those channels may even be from multiple programming sources. A custom lineup may be created to display your favorite over-the-air and cable channels, display only the premium movie channels to which you subscribe, be dedicated to sports channels only, and so on. Creating custom lineups is an exclusive feature for TitanTV members. A popup box opens prompting you to enter a name for the new lineup.

Enter a meaningful name then click the Save button to create the new lineup and close the popup window. The page redraws to display the lineup's contents, which is initially empty. To add a channel, click the Add Channels button. This opens a popup box prompting you to:. This code is a four to nine character identifier that is generally an abbreviation of the network's full name.

Click on the desired channel code from the list of matching names to select it. Next, enter the channel number it will occupy in your lineup then click the Add Channel button to close the popup window and add the channel to your lineup.

Repeat for each channel you want to add. With their abbreviated nature, call signs can sometimes be cryptic and locating the correct one that matches the schedule of the channel you are adding may require a bit of trial and error. If a wrong call sigh is entered when adding a channel, it may also be easily removed from the lineup.

The topics below describe how to remove a channel from a lineup. When the Choose Channels to Add From an Existing Lineup option is selected, a window opens in which you are presented with a list of the other lineups you have saved.

Choose the lineup from the drop down box that contains the channel you want to add. When the lineup is selected from the list, the popup window refreshes to display all of the channels on the selected lineup.

Scroll through the list and click on the desired channel to add. The background of the row the channel is on turns from white to green to indicate that it has been selected. Multiple channels may be selected with this method by clicking on each channel.

Click on a channel again to deselect it and return its background to white. When the desired channels have been selected from the source lineup, click the Add Channels button to close the popup and add them to the edited lineup. Channels added to the lineup using either of the above methods are displayed in the list on a green background to indicate that they were originally in that lineup. When the desired channels have been added, click the TitanTV Listings link at the top left corner of the page to return to the grid page and view the contents of the edited lineup.

Some experimentation may be needed to ensure the lineup contains all the correct channels. To remove an unwanted channel from the lineup, locate it in the list of channels and click its Remove button. A confirmation box will open prompting you to verify you want to remove the channel Click the OK button to confirm the action and close the box. The selected channel will be removed from the list of channels in the lineup. As you add and remove channels, the changes are automatically saved and the lineup updated as each action is performed.

No explicit save command is needed to put changes into effect. If you want the new custom lineup to be the one TitanTV opens to every time the schedule page opens, click the My Channel Lineups tab to return to the list of saved lineups.

Locate the new custom lineup in the list and click its Set as Default button. Click the TitanTV Listings link at the top of the page to return to the schedule page and view the new custom lineup.

Each lineup a member saves under his or her account - regardless of whether it is a stock, pre-defined lineup or one that is completely customized - is assigned an ID called a token.

The token is a combination of letters and numbers that is specific to that lineup. The Create Lineup from Token button allows you to create a new lineup by importing its data from a token created by another TitanTV member. The feature creates a copy of the channel lineup contained in the source token. The token contains no personal information about its creator's account.

Tokens may be exchanged with other TitanTV members via email or by posting on a community online bulletin board. No mechanism currently exists in the site to facilitate the exchange of lineup tokens between members directly from within TitanTV. To create a new lineup using another member's token, click the Create Lineup from Token button.

A popup window opens that prompts you to enter the token's ID. A token is a string of letters and numbers that uniquely indentify a particular lineup that is available for sharing. Given its character length, it may be best to copy and paste the token into the field rather than manually key it in. With the token in place, click the Save button to close the popup. The new lineup will appear on the My Channel Lineups page with the same name and channel roster as in its original lineup.

The newly created lineup is immediately ready for selection and viewing. To share a custom lineup that you have created with other members, copy the Share Token string of the desired lineup and send it in an email to the desired recipients. The sharing of custom lineup tokens is available to TitanTV members only. Clicking the Edit Information button allows you to change that lineup's display name as well as specify its time zone and Daylight Savings settings, if different than your own.

The default time zone for your lineups is determined by the setting in under the My Preferences tab. Such would be the case if you travel between time zones regularly and wish to create one or more lineups for each zone. Click the Save Changes button to put your changes to the lineup's display name and time zone settings into effect. Clicking the Edit Channels button allows you to make potentially sweeping changes to that lineup.

With this control, you may:. Color coding of each channel's background is used on this page to illustrate the changes made to a lineup. After making and saving the desired changes to the lineup, click on the My Channels Lineup tab to return to your list of lineups or on the TitanTV Listings link at the top of the page to go to the Schedule page.

When two or more lineups are present, the Set as Default control allows you to specify one as your preferred lineup. After a lineup has been selected, it will then appear by default when you open the Schedule page.

After you have selected a default lineup, any of your other lineups may still be viewed by selecting the desired non-default lineup from the drop down box in the Channel Lineup section on the Schedule page. The Set as Default button appears only when two or more lineups have been created. When only one lineup is present, it becomes the de facto default lineup so there is no need to display a control that allows you to select it as the default.

The My Grid Colors tab displays a list of the available grid color schemes. A grid color scheme determines the overall look of the programs that appear in the schedule grid. Each scheme contains one or more sets of rules that are used to color code the programs in the schedule grid according to their genre Children's, Drama, News, Sports, etc. The genre color coding scheme is also echoed in each program's Details box. When this option is enabled, the background of a program's Details box will use the same color assigned to the program's genre.

All Details boxes will then appear with the traditional black text against a white background. TitanTV provides four pre-defined grid color schemes that users may choose from. Each contains rules for different background and text color combinations. The schemes also specify different numbers of genres to color code in the schedule.

The settings in the grid color scheme selected as the Default is the one TitanTV will use whenever the grid page is displayed. The grid page also displays a legend at the bottom containing a color sample and label for each genre and program type combination in the Default scheme. To select a different color scheme from the list, click its Set as Default button.

The schedule grid will then be displayed according to the settings in that scheme. The color combinations in the Default color scheme are also reflected in the Details box that opens when a program's cell is clicked.

The Details box contains that program's extended description, cast information and more. For example, if the Default scheme has specified all programs associated with the Nature genre to be displayed in the grid with a green background, the Details box of every Nature program will also have a green background. In addition to the pre-defined schemes, TitanTV members may create custom grid schemes using their choice of color combinations for cell colors, titles and descriptive text. For example, a sports fan may create a custom scheme that displays all Sports programs in one background color to make them stand out from all other programs in the grid.

Parents could make a custom scheme with rules that highlight all Animated and Children's programs with the same color combination to make them easy to locate in the grid. Unlike the pre-defined schemes that are based only on Genre, custom schemes may be created to also highlight combinations of the available Genres and the Movie program type.

With this new capability, a movie buff could create a custom scheme featuring several rules dedicated to movies. One rule would apply to movies that are dramas and display them in one combination of colors, a second rule that displays comedy movies in another combination and a third that applies to movies of all other genres. A demonstration of how to create each of the rules described above may be found in the Custom Movie Rules Example topic in this Help page.

See the next topic for more basic information about creating a custom grid color scheme. Back to the top of the My Grid Colors topic. Unlike the pre-defined schemes that are based only on Genre, the Custom Grid Color Scheme feature allows TitanTV members to create custom grid color schemes based on their choice of Genre and the Movie program type.

A simple custom scheme may be monochromatic and display all programs in the grid in the same background color. Or, at the opposite end of the scale, a complex custom scheme could contain a unique combination of color codes for every available program genre and program type combination. In a typical custom scheme, however, distinct color combinations are generally chosen for the 8 to 10 specific genre and program type combinations the member cares most about.

The rest of the programs will be displayed in the grid according to the set of rules that TitanTV internally maintains that determines the background and text colors for all unspecified genres and program types. To create a custom scheme, click the Create New Color Scheme button at the top of the list of schemes. This opens a popup box containing these controls:. Click the Save button to save the new scheme and close the popup box. The new scheme is added to the list of available grid color schemes and ready to be edited to suit your preferences.

See the next topic for more information about editing the settings in a custom grid color scheme as well as how to add additional colors to the scheme. To edit the settings in the new scheme, click its Edit Color Scheme button. The page will redraw to display the current settings in the new scheme and the following controls:. If the new scheme was created using Option 1 in the topic above, you may notice that it will contain one rule.

In it, the Genre and Program Type is set to All. To change the settings in this rule, click its Edit button in its box to activate the Edit controls. The box will redraw and the Genre and Program Type fields become controls from which you may choose specific criteria. The Color Picker squares are activated for each cell element. Clicking on a square will open its Color Picker from which you select a different color for that particular cell element.

For example, to change the rule to apply to all programs in the News genre only, click the Genre drop down box to display its contents then click on News in the list.

The background color of the cells for the News programs may also be changed. Click on the color square between the Background label and the Sample box to open the Color Picker. The Picker contains two sets of pre-defined color palettes, named Theme Colors and Web Colors , from which you may choose. Select a new background color by clicking on the desired color. When another color is selected, the Sample box will change to reflect how the News programming will appear in the grid with the new background color.

Depending on the color you selected for the cell's background, you may want to also choose different colors for the Title and other text elements to make them stand out for easier readability. Click on the Color Picker square for each text element to choose its new color.

When you are satisfied with the new settings in this rule, click the Save Changes button to close the Edit view and retain your choices.

If you are ready to put this custom into effect, click the Set As Default button to make it the scheme TitanTV will use whenever the grid page is displayed. The grid will redraw according to settings in the Default new custom grid color scheme.

For any genre and type combinations that are not specifically identified by a rule in a custom scheme, TitanTV internally maintains a default rule that directs all programs for the remaining genres and types to be displayed with black text against a grey background.

If Option 2 in the Creating a Custom Color Scheme topic above was selected when creating the new grid scheme, it will contain the same set of rules that were in the original scheme that was copied. The settings in the new scheme may be edited as needed to meet your preferences. To edit a specific rule, click its Edit button to activate the edit controls. The Genre and Program Type fields become controls from which you may choose specific criteria and the Color Picker squares are activated for each cell element.

Change the color of the cell's background and text elements if needed by clicking on the color square between the field labels and the Sample box to open the Color Picker.

When satisfied with the new settings and combination of colors, click the Save Changes button to close the Edit view and retain your choices. Repeat these steps for each existing rule you want to change. See the Adding a New Rule to a Scheme topic that follows for more information about adding a new rule and color combination to your custom scheme.

If the new custom scheme contains any unwanted rules that were copied from the source scheme, click on the red X in the top right corner of its box to delete the rule. Once you have created the rules for the new scheme and are ready to put it into effect, click the Set As Default button.

TitanTV will then use this scheme's settings whenever the grid page is displayed. To add a new rule with its own settings and color combinations to a custom scheme, click the Add New Rule button. A popup window opens containing the same controls and basic layout as when editing an existing rule.

Then click on each of the color squares to open their respective Color Pickers to select the rule's background and text colors. Click the Save button to close the popup and save the new rule's setting. These instructions demonstrate how to create a custom scheme containing a combination of rules that specify different genres within the Movie program type.

As mentioned in the section introducing custom grid color scheme options, a scheme may be created for movies in which all dramas will appear in the grid in one background color, comedies in another color and all other movies in a third combination of colors.

This section illustrates how to create this set of rules. The new scheme appears in the list of available schemes. Click its Edit Color Scheme button to open its Edit mode. For this demonstration, various shades of blue will be used to distinguish movies in the schedule grid according to their genre.

Any other combination of colors may be used. The first step is to create a rule that sets the background and text color for movies that are dramas. To begin, click the Add New Rule button. A popup window opens containing the controls used for creating a new rule. In the popup:. The box to the right provides a sample of what this rule will look like in the grid.

If you are satisfied with your color choices, click the Save button to close the popup and save the new rule's settings. The next step is to create a rule that sets the background and text color for movies that are comedies. Click the Add New Rule button. When satisfied with your color choices, click the Save button to close the popup and save the new rule.

The last step is to create the rule that sets the background and text color for all movies that are not dramas or comedies. The custom scheme will have three new rules in it. One dictates that all Dramas that are also a Movie will appear in the schedule grid with a dark blue background.

Another rule indicates all Comedies that are also a Movie will appear with a medium blue background. In the third rule, the All setting determines that all Movies that are neither Dramas nor Comedies will appear in the grid with a light blue background. The All selection in the Genre drop down box means the rule's color combination will be applied to all the other genres within the Movies program type that have not been specifically chosen in any other rules.

In this example, explicit rules were created specifically for Dramas and Comedies within the Movie program type. Therefore, the All genre selection and its particular rules do not apply to them. To view how the grid will look under the rules of the new custom color scheme, click the Set as Default button that the top of the custom scheme's list of rules.

Then click the Return to TV Listings link at the bottom of the set of rules. The schedule grid page will be redrawn. The movies in it will appear in it with their backgrounds in shades of blue.

Dramas will be dark blue, comedies medium blue and all other movies in a light shade of blue. All other programs that are not movies will appear against a grey background, TitanTV's default for all unspecified genres. If you scroll down to the bottom of the schedule grid, you will see the legend contains - in addition to any other rules you have created in the custom scheme - the background and text color samples for each of the rules in this custom scheme. It will list Movie on a light blue background, Comedy:Movie on a medium blue background and Drama:Movie on a dark blue background.

Back to the Custom Grid Color Schemes topic. Between these palettes, nearly pre-defined colors are available for use in custom grid color schemes. In addition to the pre-defined colors from which you may select, TitanTV also allows you to use create custom colors by manually entering HTML Color Codes into the color fields. The first two digits in the HTML Code represents the intensity of Red in a color, the second pair represents the intensity of Green, and the last two the intensity of Blue.

The color Black is created when all the Red, Green and Blue components in the HTML Code are at their lowest intensity and White is created when all of the components are set to their maximum intensity Between the lower and upper limits of this range thousands of color combinations are available. The first two digits 00 in this code represent the Red component at its lowest intensity in this color. The next two FF indicate the highest intensity for the color Green.

The last two digits 00 represent the Blue component is also at its lowest possible intensity. The color this combination creates is a Medium Green. By changing the HTML Code to , the colors Red and Blue are still at their lowest possible intensities 00 while the Green component is at a much less intense value This combination creates is a somewhat darker shade of Dark Green that may look like Black on most computer monitors.

By selecting different combinations of intensities for the Red, Green and Blue components in a color, the HTML Code may be used to select from thousands of available colors for use in your custom grid scheme. This feature allows you to display only the icons for the particular functions your PVR supports or, if you do not have a PVR installed, hide all the PVR icons completely. For example, if you have a PVR product installed on your computer that only allows you to record programming, selecting just the check box corresponding to the Record function on the My DVR Options page will cause only the Record icon to appear in the Program Details box.

If you do not have a PVR, not selecting any of the check boxes will cause the display of all PVR-related icons to not be displayed at all. Every program you have designated in any of your lineups as a Favorite appears on this page.

This page also allows you to maintain your master list of favorite programs. To add a new favorite to the list, carefully enter the program's exact title in the field and click the Add Favorite button. The Favorites function does not recognize partial matches of show and movie titles.
