Electronic Program Guide in Naperville, IL on 10/12/1987. This is before the service was named 'Prevue Guide'. The generic instrumental music and videos had not been introduced yet. Background music is from a local radio station.

@MatthewMTU Not on your TV at least, you would just turn on the channel and see this
-
Is it true that back then you needed to hook up a Amiga computer to get this menu guide?
-
Oh my God, those were the days. Some of my earliest memories were of this thing. The one in Rockford where I lived had a weather broadcast in the background.

@dgendvil , the scrolling EPG was fine to display ... up to about 40 channels ... then they are slooooowww.

Thanks for uploading this, it's really awesome to see how this channel used to be back in the year I was born.
I liked how they played music from the radio station in the background.
I had never seen the Electronic Program Guide before, but I definitely remember the Prevue Channel before it became the TV Guide Channel, I like both of them better than the TV Guide Channel.
But now it seems that the TV Guide Channel is going to completely get rid of the TV listings altogether after 25 years. :(

The guide data comes for wgn america a channle that was never on any Chicagoland cable system. So they did have it but never offered wgn america and wgn ota to people in Chicago land.

These were all run on Amiga's occasionally it would crash and you would see a flashing guru meditation error.

I actually have a video somewhere of the error message you speak of - looked kinda like DOS in a red colored small text. So this was an Amiga, huh? I hate the TV guide channel these days and miss this one. I recorded a lot of this stuff like this at the unused ends of videotapes. Will need to go through and post more, as there is a small group of followers on this. Did you see the Telaction video I posted, by chance? Now that's a blast from the past.
