Summary

You can play interactive card games by using the Rovi program guide on your DVR receiver.

Solution

You can play these games from either a Cisco (SA) or Motorola set-top receiver.

Choose from three different games:

  • Klondike Solitaire – Classic solitaire game
  • Twenty-One or Bust – Blackjack style card game
  • 5 Card Draw – Popular poker game

You can keep track of high scores when playing with other family members or friends. You can also play while watching a TV show in scaled video.

Note: You cannot save a game, exit, and resume playing the same game. To have a high score recorded, you need to play a game through to completion.  If you have the high score when you complete a game, you have the opportunity to leave your initials on the scoreboard.
