Modes of operation
EPG mode
EPG is the electronic channel guide for TV pro- grams. With this system, you can easily find the programmes that interest you (sorted according to time, day, topics and channels). You can memorize programmes and programme record- ings.
A wizard is activated the first time you use EPG (not with DVB) which guides you through the necessary settings. Then run the data acquisition (see page 15).
