5In the screen that summarizes your subscription details, choose Next. The ‘Create a subscription – Activation Key’ screen will appear. This screen contains your activation key. Make a note of this key and choose Proceed to Personalization.

Tip You will need the activation key later on to activate the EPG on your RC9800i.

Personalizing the EPG

You can personalize your EPG by indicating the stations you want to include in the EPG. This list of stations is called a lineup. The EPG application on your RC9800i will download and display only stations that are in the lineup(s) that you have defined, and leave out stations that you don’t receive or are not interested in.

On your PC, perform the following steps to define your lineup(s). A wizard will guide you through:

1In the ‘Create a subscription – Activation Key’ screen, choose Proceed to personalization.

2In the Personalization Home Page, choose Add a lineup.

3(US users only) Enter your ZIP code.

4Choose the appropriate TV signal source (Cable, Satellite, Antenna), then choose Next.

5(US users only) If applicable, choose your provider.

6Select the stations that you want EPG data for (European users: also indicate the corresponding channel number). When done choose Finish (European users: Choose Next).

7(European users only) When satisfied with the selection you have made, choose Finish. Otherwise choose Back.

If you have multiple TV signal sources, e.g. a satellite receiver and a cable box, you can define additional lineups (up to 4). In this case repeat steps 2 to 5 for all your TV signal sources. When you have added all lineups, in the Personalization Home Page, choose Advanced and assign a lineup ID to every TV signal source. Make a note of the lineup IDs that you have assigned, as you will need them when doing the EPG-related settings on the RC9800i.

Settings on the RC9800i

Once you have created an EPG subscription and received an activation key, you must bind it to link your RC9800i to the subscription you made in order to make the EPG available on the RC9800i. This so-called “Activating the EPG” is something that you only have to do once.

Activating the EPG on the RC9800i
