200-248 Nationalwide TV / International TV / News

400-??? Movies
600-650 Music Channels

For certain cites, TV Guide categorized channels is for normal Converter boxes (Motorola DTA-101 and Cisco iDTA153).
And for advanced boxes ( Motorola DCT-2000, 700, 1000 and DCT-6416, 6412 ) Interactive programming Guide by APTIV Digital are offered in them.

I believe it is a early WinNT system. I'm probably wrong, but that's what i'd guess. My only reason is since TVG entered Latin America later on most likely, so they were probably testing new generation systems down there. Just a wild guess, though

It's actually a Win9X system. If you watch the Windows Errors in Funny Places on KioskHacking's YouTube channel, one of the images are a Win9X computer.

I Found out some of the music is also Firstcom and Killer Tracks.

Here in Mexico City, MASTV (was a analog cable television provided who turned off in December of 2015) was used a static version of TV Guide Channel.
Since 2010 (circa), TV Guide Channel don't inserted previews and ads from the system (i only remember this in my memories, saddly, i never recorded that, i was a 9 years old kid!!).
