In the station selection you can determine for which
station in the programme guide information is to be dis-
played. Only stations with are shown in the EPG.
With the coloured buttons you can select or remove
stations or only select the stations from the favourites
lists.
Because of the large number of receivable DVB-S stations
you should restrict the station selection. This reduces the
data entry time and increases the clarity in the EPG.
Marking the stations according to reception ranges:
Analogue stations via antenna/cable, for which the
current provider supplies data.
Digital terrestrial stations DVB-T.
Digital cable stations DVB-C.
Digital satellite stations DVB-S.
on (for DVB + analogue): data capture for DVB and ana-
logue stations
on (only for DVB): data capture only for DVB stations.
off: no data capture.
After changes in the EPG menu or after switching off at
the mains switch the EPG data must be collected first.
To do this, switch on the set and select the station from
the analogue stations which you want defined as a pro-
vider and let the TV set run for about 1 hour with the
selected station. Or:
Switch the TV set into standby mode. The display on the
TV set glows orange after 2 minutes and the EPG data
entry begins.
The data capture normally takes place at night between
2 and 5 o’clock if the TV set is in the standby mode.
When yes is set, the switched off TV switches on auto-
matically from the standby mode at the beginning of a
set program. A screen message appears when switching
on. If this is not confirmed within 5 minutes with the
OK button, the TV switches back off automatically for
safety reasons.
The programmes can be sorted either according to their
start times (chronologically) or according to stations (cor-
responding to station list).
