Example of Hollywood in action.

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 guide was shipped 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

  • Pentium III Xeon 550MHz
  • STB Systems STB 1X0-0751-407 (Tulsa) Video Card
  • 128MB RAM (most likely)
  • 4.3-1024 GB HDD

As of November 9, 2020, we currently do not know all of the hardware included, so some uncited information has been put in place instead.
