About EPG Link
The EPG Link function automatically
updates the date, start and stop times of timer
settings when the broadcaster changes them
and updates the EPG accordingly. For
example, if a programme with timer setting
starts before or ends after the scheduled
time, the timer setting is automatically
extended to record the whole programme.
To use the EPG Link function, set “EPG
Link” to “On” (default) in step 4 above.
