7.15.1 Acquiring (downloading) SFI data

The programme information will be updated automatically by your receiver at the pre-selected updating time (Point 9.2.2), provided the receiver is in stand-by mode at the time.

The downloading procedure will be indicated by the message Load SFI appearing in the display. If your receiver is swit- ched on at this time, the function will not be executed.

You can also, immediately after switching off the receiver (while the display shows the message Load SFI?) press the SFI key to start the downloading procedure manually. While the download is in progress, the display will show Loading SFI, as well as the percentage of SFI data downloaded so far (e.g. 38%).

The duration of the downloading procedure depends on the number of programmes included. Previews can extend as far as seven days in advance. As more programmes are added to the electronic programme guide, the volume of data incre- ases, and the preview period is reduced correspondingly.

It is up to you to decide which programmes should be listed in the electronic programme guide. These can be selected as described in Points 9.2.5 and 9.2.6.
