Q: Why is the video so small?
To view video in full-window mode, click the “TV” button in the upper left corner of the “OnGuide” window or under the video preview thumbnail. To increase the size of the viewer window, right-click (Windows/Linux) or control-click (Macintosh) on the viewer to show a menu with pre-defined viewer sizes. Select the preferred size (small, medium, large, or full screen) from the menu. Alternately, use the mouse to click on and stretch the window borders or corners. To toggle between “OnGuide” mode and “TV” mode, press Ctrl-G (Windows) or Cmd-G (Macintosh).
