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 On/Standby). The data as per the last previous download still remains available.
