Direct TV up and coming movie guide by the time i.e. movie from 2:00 to 4:00, next time slot another movie from 4:00 to 5:00 and so on.

How can I see what movies will be playing later on in the day or evening. It appears that I can only see what is playing at the moment and not what will be playing, when and the length of the upcoming movies.
