The Electronic Program Guide

In this chapter you can find general information about the iPronto Electronic Program Guide application. You can find detailed and frequently updated information in the iPronto Online Help at http://www.pronto.philips.com/products/ipronto/help.

One of the iPronto’s key applications is the Electronic Program Guide. An Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is the electronic equivalent of a printed television program guide. But the iPronto’s EPG is not a regular EPG: It is unique because of its direct interaction with the iPronto’s Remote Control. While browsing through the Electronic Program Guide, you can immediately switch your TV to the channel.

Note Before you can use the iPronto EPG, you have to subscribe online. See Subscription on page 50 for more information.
