Display TV guide style UI in dashboard

I am new to Splunk and I need to display my data in typical TV guide format.

X axis is list of channels
Y axis is timeline with scroll bar to go left and right of the current time.
Each row of the line is a variable length rectangles that show the program.

What is the best way to achieve this in splunk dashboard?

1) Install the Event Timeline Viz
https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/4370/

2) Here is a sample query. After execution, go to Visualisation, and select Event Timeline Viz. You will see the result displayed like a TV guide.

| makeresults 
| eval raw = "Channel1%Show1%6:00:00 PM%7:00:00 PM;Channel1%Show2%7:00:00 PM%8:00:00 PM;Channel1%Show3%8:00:00 PM%9:00:00 PM;Channel2%ShowA%5:00:00 PM%6:00:00 PM;Channel2%ShowB%6:00:00 PM%6:30:00 PM;Channel2%ShowC%6:30:00 PM%8:00:00 PM;Channel3%ShowA%7:00:00 PM%8:00:00 PM;Channel3%ShowB%8:00:00 PM%8:30:00 PM;Channel3%ShowC%8:30:00 PM%9:00:00 PM" 
| makemv raw delim=";" 
| mvexpand raw 
| rex field=raw "(?P<Channel>[^\%]+)%(?P<Show>[^\%]+)%(?P<Start_Time>[^\%]+)%(?P<Finish_Time>[^\%]+)"
| eval time_1 = strptime(Start_Time, "%H:%M:%S %p")
| eval time_2 = strptime(Finish_Time, "%H:%M:%S %p")
| eval duration = time_2 - time_1
| eval group = Channel, label = Show, start = time_1, end = time_2, tooltip = Show
| table group, label, start, end, tooltip

@prashantku you can try out Timeline Custom Visualization built by Splunk.

timechart will give you a timeline on the x axis and data on the y axis. The transpose command will swap those. Perhaps that will get you going in the right direction. If not, please elaborate on what you want and include some sample data.
