Just bought Vizio TV

Works awesome.
Set it up.

Anyone know how, or if I can, have it show what the program is about on that particular chanel.? What's on and description.

TV is jut hooked up to antenna. No cable, satelite etc.

When I switch the channel it shows in gray bar on top the channel, the time, and screen view type(wide, normal, etc)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Never mind..
I figured it out.
You have to push the Guide button TWICE.

Oh well, maybe this info will help someone else out

Nice to see someone who bought a vizio where the date/time shows correct. I bought a vizio E480i-B2 last month. Date/time hardly ever worked. Kept reverting to 1/1/70 midnight or showed the time of the last channel change. Vizio CS said because I wasn't connected to the internet, I shouldn't expect the correct time. BUT the FCC says otherwise. Couple of days later, bought 2 HDMI cables. Discovered that HDMI 1 'arc' didn't work with a/v receiver 'arc', HDMI 2 DVD to TV didn't work, even with digi optical, AND after two weeks, already had a dead on [blue] pixel. Returned it for a refund.
TV info bar worked but didn't have 'program guide'
