What is an EPG?
An “EPG (Electronic Programme Guide)” is a programme schedule, which is displayed on the TV screen. The EPG is broadcasted together with DTV. The TV screen shows the EPG when the viewer presses EPG on the remote control, provided that the TV is receiving the digital broadcasting signal. The EPG enables you to search for a programme, do timer recording or view the programme schedule in detail.
