How to Play Interactive Card Games in On-Screen Program Guide
Last Updated: Thu, 26 Jan 2012 > Related Articles
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.
