TechniSat DIGIT MF4-S - Manual (Page 30)

The SFI functions allow you to:
- display information on programme contents on your screen
- pre-select programmes, which will be selected automatically
when the programme/show starts
- programme timer functions
- search for and select programmes according to type (genre).
7.15.1 Downloading SFI data
The programme information will be updated by your receiver at the
update time set in accordance with Point 8.2 (SFI channel). The pre-
requisite for this is that your receiver must be in stand-by mode at
this time.
The download procedure will be indicated by the message Load SFI
o n the display. If your receiver is switched on and in operation at this
time, the function will not be executed.
You may also start the dowload procedure manually, simply by pres-
sing the SFI key immediately after switching off the receiver (i.e.
while the display shows “Stand-by”). While the download procedure is
in progress, the message Load SFI will appear in the display, follo-
wed by a record of the volume of SFI data already downloaded (e.g.
38%).
The duration of the downloading procedure will depend on the num-
ber of programmes included. Programmes can be shown a maximum
of seven days in advance. Based on the volume of data involved, the
more programmes are included, the shorter is the period for which
preview information can be included in the electronic programme
guide.
You can decide for yourself which programmes are to be included in
the electronic programme guide. These can then be added to the list
as described in Point 8.1.5.
7.15.2 Interrupting the download procedure
The download procedure may be interrupted by switching on the digi-
tal receiver (On/Standby key). The SFI data downloaded at the pre-
vious download will then still be available.
