Green and Yellow keys on the remote control to move back- wards and forwards by one day at a time, so you can easily see what’s on tomorrow.

Finally, pressing the Red key on the remote will change the EPG from the current, single channel view, to a multi channel view, like this:

In this view of the EPG, you’ll see a time-line across the bottom of the screen, and a grid showing four channels at a time, with the programmes for each channel. The green vertical line represents the current time, so you can see how close programmes are to ending.

Use the left and right arrows to select programmes on the cur- rent channel; you’ll see their descriptions in the top left corner of the screen, and just as with the single channel guide, you can press the Info button to see more details, while green and yellow keys move by a day at a time.

If you’d like change the time span of the information, to in- clude more or fewer hours, use the Fast Forward and Rewind Keys.

Use the up and down arrows to highlight a different channel; the picture at the top right of the screen will change. Pressing Guide again, or Exit to close the EPG and watch the channel that’s highlighted.

If you’ve moved a long way through the EPG to look at what’s on in future, you can return quickly to the current time by pressing the Red button to switch to the other EPG view at the current time, then again to switch back to your current view.
