===Interactive program guides=== ====TV Guide Interactive==== '''TV Guide Interactive''' is the former name of an interactive electronic program guide software system incorporated into [[Cable box (electronics)|digital set-top boxes]] provided by cable providers. The program listings grid rendered by the software was similar to the late-2000s look of the listings of TV Guide Network/TVGN. Macrovision/Rovi later renamed the product as '''i-Guide''' after the spin-off of the TV Guide publications. ====TV Guide On Screen==== {{See also|Guide Plus}} A separate IPG system, ''TV Guide On Screen'', was a brand name for '''Guide Plus+''', a build of software featured in products such as televisions, [[DVD recorder|DVD]] and [[digital video recorder]]s, and other [[digital television]] [[Display device|device]]s providing on-screen program listings. First marketed in the mid-1990s, it was originally owned by Gemstar-TV Guide International before being acquired by the [[Rovi Corporation]] on December 7, 2007, in a $2.8 billion cash and stock deal.<ref>{{cite news|title=Macrovision Agrees to Acquire Gemstar-TV Guide|url=http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20071207005225/en/Macrovision-Agrees-Acquire-Gemstar-TV-Guide|agency=BusinessWire|publisher=Macrovision|date=December 7, 2007|access-date=November 13, 2015|archive-date=November 17, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117022658/http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20071207005225/en/Macrovision-Agrees-Acquire-Gemstar-TV-Guide|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Macrovision Closes Acquisition of Gemstar-TV Guide|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a38A.9m8q2s0|publisher=Macrovision|via=Bloomberg L.P.|date=May 2, 2008|access-date=November 13, 2015|archive-date=November 17, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151117025203/http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a38A.9m8q2s0|url-status=live}}</ref> From November 2012 to April 2013, Rovi gradually discontinued broadcast transmission of the Guide Plus+ service.<ref name="rovi2012">Retrieved from http://www.avsforum.com/t/1122914/lightbox/post/22575551/id/88163 {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230805103118/https://www.avsforum.com/threads/tvgos-tv-guide-on-screen-devices.1122914/ |date=2023-08-05 }}.</ref>
