ELECTRONIC PROGRAM GUIDE
One of the most important features of Digital Television is the Electronic Program Guide (commonly
known as the ‘EPG’). Today, broadcasters send within their transmission NOW and NEXT
programme information. In some areas, extended EPG information may be available.
An EPG can be represented in many ways. A basic NOW & NEXT guide is the most common. Your
product however is also compatible with a more advanced grid view showing all programmes during
the week (this is subject to broadcast data availability).
The television guide data is available by either the: -
i. Broadcast (subject to availability and cross-carry information),
ii. Internet (subject to licensing and availability).
To use the EPG, press the
key on the remote controller. By default, the GRID guide is
available as shown below.
Note: Not all information will be shown simultaneously for all channels. This is because the
broadcasters do not cross-carry their EPG information. Therefore each channel must be selected
individually.
Use the joystick
keys to select the desired programme service.
Press the
key to change the TV picture in the
background. You will notice in a few seconds that the
programme information (if available) appears.
It is also possible to set the program to record directly from the guide. Press the
red key on the
desired program to automatically enter the Recording Timers feature. The programme name will be
highlighted in red.
Sometimes, you may want to receive only a reminder that your program is about to start. Press the
green key to enable the reminder feature on the programme. The programme name will be
highlighted in green.
