Go to the TV Guide website (see Resources). You can order a subscription from the site or do the trial offer to make sure that the guide will fill your needs. You can either pay using your credit or debit card or have the subscription billed by postal mail.
Look in an old TV guide for a subscription card. If a family member or friend subscribes to the publication, ask them to save a card for you. You can even purchase the current week of the guide at the grocery store and use the card inside. Mail it in and your subscription should start in several weeks.
Watch for subscription offers on television. Many times, the advertisements will promote special rates that can save you money if you call the toll-free number. You will need to have a credit or debit card handy when you call.
Pay the bill when it arrives so that you will continue to receive the guide without interruption. If you paid online or over the phone, you will not receive a bill until the subscription runs out.
