selection will be lost when changing to other programmes.
6.13 Electronic Programme Guide
The EPG or Electronic Programme Guide will allow you to view programme details and con-
tents of various programmes on your TV screen. This can provide you with a quick overview
of the current day's programmes and those of the next few days.
The EPG functions allow you to
- Preselect programmes which will then be automatically switched on when they start
broadcasting;
- Programming of timers
- View information about programme contents on the screen
- Select programmes according to categories, and to view accordingly.
6.13.1 Entering EPG data
Your receiver will update programme information twice daily, at 05ho00, provided it is in
standby mode at those times.
The receiving of data will be shown by
EPLd
on the receiver display. If your receiver is swit-
ched on at this time, the download of information will not take place
If you press the
EPG key within 5 seconds after switching off the receiver (into standby
mode), you can also initiate a download manually.
The duration of the download will depend on the number of programmes being updated. The
system will show programmes up to a maximum of seven days ahead of current time. As the
number of available programmes increases, so the volume of data will cause a reduction in
the period of time that can be previewed in the Electronic Programme Guide.
You can decide for yourself which programmes should be included in the Electronic Pro-
gramme Guide, the details can be entered as described in Point 7.5.
6.13.2 Interrupting EPG download
The process of downloading data can be interrupted by switching on the receiver (key
