Topfield v2.0 manual KEY SET maximal minimal

v2.0 user guide Page 13

KEEP RECORDING INFO FOR…: After a recording has been viewed and deleted iGuide will keep information about it for a certain number of days in order to stop a repeat of the show being recorded (assuming it was recorded via series link defined as unique – see below). This option allows you to define how long to keep such a record for before deleting it.

KEY SET: maximal; minimal

If maximal, iGuide takes control of all the keys as described in this guide, preventing the key presses being picked up by other TAPs or the standard TF5800 user interface. (Note that keys will be passed through to other TAPs if the [EXIT] key is pressed first while viewing a ‘normal’ programme – that’s one without the now-and-next banner or other iGuide screen.)

If minimal, only [INFO] and [LIST] are acquired by iGuide, so that only the now- and-next banner and EPG View screen can be entered. This leaves most keys on the remote available to other TAPs. (Note that, once in now-and-next or the EPG View screen in ‘minimal’ key set mode, iGuide uses the keys as described in this guide, up until the point at which its screens are left again.)

EPG WIDTH: The number of minutes to show per page of the EPG grid (also selectable by use of the [PAUSE] key in the EPG Grid screen itself.

VIEW EPG AS A GRID?: Choose ‘yes’ for the standard grid view, or ‘no’ for a single- channel-per-page view.

EPG JUMP: the number of hours forward or backward that iGuide will use when [REW] or [FFW] are pressed during EPG grid view. Defaults to 24.

SHOW RECORDING THUMBNAILS: Sets whether or not to show thumbnails by default in the Recordings and Timers pages.

NOW-AND-NEXT BANNER TIME: Use [LEFT] and [RIGHT] to choose the number of seconds (default 10) the now-and-next banner remains on screen following a keystroke.

HOME-IN ALGORITHM: When playing a recording and wishing to navigate quickly past, say, the adverts, iGuide provides a homing-in navigation algorithm called ‘IntuiLeap’. IntuiLeap actually employs one of two basic algorithms: increasingly small and diminishes on direction change. The former is more efficient, diminishing the amount jumped on each key; this can, however, feel anti-intuitive. The latter is less efficient but more intuitive, diminishing the amount jumped only when changing direction. Choose the most appropriate algorithm for your use from this option.
