### The Interactive Guide

The bottom half of the screen shows your live channel lineup and upcoming schedule.

* Active Channel: The currently playing channel is highlighted in blue (e.g., 1001 Dizzy Channel).
* Timeline: Shows the current program title, description, and the "Next" show on the schedule.
* Current Time Indicator: A red vertical line moves across the guide to show exactly where you are in the broadcast.

{% hint style="success" %}
If the guide says a movie started at 8:00 PM and you tune in at 8:15 PM, you will start watching 15 minutes into the film. It’s a live experience, meaning the Reset View button is your best friend for catching up with the current schedule.
{% endhint %}

### Navigation Bar&#x20;

{% tab title="Mobile App" %}
These five buttons handle the core utility of the app.

* 🔄 Reset View: If you have scrolled too far ahead in the guide, this instantly snaps the view back to "Right Now".

* 📺 Cast: Send your video to a casting enabled TV or streaming box.
* ⚙️ Settings: Opens the main configuration tabs where you customize your channels, UI, and commercials.
