Prevue Grid, also known as "blue grid", was the final iteration of the Prevue software, used from 1993-1999. Like Prevue List and EPG Sr., Prevue Grid ran on the Amiga platform. There were many differences between these three Amiga-based software editions, however. Whereas Prevue List displayed a list of what was currently on on each channel, then what would be on in the future at different times, the Prevue Grid showed what was on each channel currently and in the future at the same time.
The Prevue Grid software had 3 different names over the course of its history: Prevue Guide, Prevue Channel, and lastly, for just a few months, TV Guide Channel. Only one version of the Prevue Grid software, which is thought to be the final version, is currently known to be on the internet. This is version 9.0.4, with TV Guide Channel branding.
Specifications
This version of the Prevue Grid software requires the following minimum specifications:
2.04 Kickstart ROM (may work with later revisions) Chip RAM: 1.0MB Fast RAM: 1.0MB CPU: 68000 Chipset: ECS
This particular "Guru Meditation" error is caused by insufficient chip RAM. Insufficient fast RAM will not cause a guru meditation, but it will cause the software to throw an ER011 error and freeze up.
