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 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.
