The TV Guide Channel software (internally named Hollywood) was used to power the TV Guide Channel following mid-2000 into the present day. Like Prevue Junior, this iteration ran off of Windows. The software began development in 1997 and was released in July of 1999 shipping with a tan guide, reminiscent of the firmware on various Motorola cable boxes, though progressed to various mostly monochrome styles in later years. Software status seems to be currently unknown at this time, however seems to still be used in some cable companies.
Hardware
The Hollywood units were manufactured by Compaq and relied on the Professional Workstation SP700.
- Microsoft Windows NT
- Pentium III Xeon 550MHz
- STB Systems STB 1X0-0751-407 (Tulsa) Video Card
- 128MB RAM (most likely)
- SCSI HDD (exact size unknown, presumably 4 GB?)
- 32X CD-ROM & 3½-inch floppy drive (usage unknown)
