The EPG menu
The EPG menu (Electronic Programme Guide) provides a quick and easy way to:-
a)
View a complete list of the programmes available.
b) Obtain a preview of the programmes currently being broadcast.
c) Create a list relating to a category of programme, e.g. Sports or Movies.
d) Record programmes.
1. The EPG menu is only available when watching digital channels. To check
you are in digital mode, press the DIGITAL/
button on the remote control.
An information banner appears briefly on screen when you change
channels. If the banner does not appear, press the DIGITAL/
button.
2. Press the button to display the EPG menu screen. This screen consists
of an information window, a preview window, a 2 hour timer bar (divided into
30 minute intervals) and a 5 channel programme list covering the 2 hour
period.
3. Press the V or v buttons to move the cursor bar up or down the programme
list and the b or B buttons to move left and right. If you press the b button
once more after highlighting the last programme on the right, the programmes
scheduled for the next 2 hour period are displayed. As each programme is
highlighted, a brief description of the programme appears in the event
information box at the top left of the screen. If you do not wish to select a
programme from the 5 channels listed, press the GREEN button to display the
next 5 channels or RED button to display the previous 5 channels (if more
than 5 channels are available).
4. If a programme you highlight is currently being broadcast, you will be
prompted to press the OK button to obtain a preview.
Note:
If an age limit for viewing has been set and the programme selected exceeds that age
limit, you will need to enter your PIN code before the preview is displayed. Refer to
‘The Main menu’ for more information on the ‘PIN Code’ feature. Programmes that
exceed the age limit you have set will be identified by a
symbol.
5. When the programme in the preview screen is the one you want, press the
OK button to exit the EPG menu and view the programme at full size.
The Category pop-up list
The Category pop-up list allows you to search for programmes quickly by dividing the
channels into different categories. For example, if you select ‘News’ from the Category
pop-up list, then only programmes related to News will be shown in the EPG menu.
1. With the EPG menu on screen, press the YELLOW button to display the
Category pop-up list.
2. Press the V or v buttons to highlight the category you want, then press the OK
button. The EPG programme list will now only contain programmes of the type
selected.
Some examples of category types are as follows:

3. Your chosen category is displayed at the top of the list along with the date and
time of day.
