TVTV EPG and Timer
The EPG is a latest-generation Electronic Programme Guide.
It provides all the EPG information for around 60 TV channels at no
charge, without you having to change channel, and also offers schedule
information up to a week ahead (depending on programme provider).
Accessing the TVTV EPG for the First Time
Press
to access the EPG. The first time you access it (if you
have not yet run an ASTRA satellite scan and the data have not
yet been updated!) you see the following on-screen display:
To safeguard the functionality of
the EPG, the satellite scan
must be run on the ASTRA satellite
(in multifeed reception mode for
“All satellites”). In this operation
the necessary signal identifiers for
the EPG are downloaded
(SID, TSID and OID).
Press
to cancel the display. Exit the EPG by pressing the
button. You now have two options for updating the data:
- To get the data immediately, switch the receiver off by the
button.
The receiver first displays the message “Receiving tvtv”, then the
download status as a percentage (Downloading tvtv ...%). As soon
as the display no longer indicates this message, you can switch the
receiver back on by pressing the
button and begin using the
EPG.
- To download the data at a specific time when you will not be using the
receiver, you can set a download time on the receiver as described
under “User Preference” - “EPG Grabbing Setup”.
