4.2. setting up the TV program guide
In order to get the TV Program Guide on your ARCHOS Internet Media Tablet, you will need to have access to a WiFi network.
First time Procedure
The first time you connect your ARCHOS to the DVR Station, or when your select “TV” > “TV Program Guide”, you are requested to activate and download the TV Program Guide. Follow the instructions on the ARCHOS tablet.
▲The transfer of the TV Guide onto the ARCHOS can take several minutes. Do not try to operate the device while it is ! downloading TV Program information.
Updating the TV Program Guide periodically
•Every time you transfer the TV Program Guide information to the ARCHOS (“Update” menu item in the TV Program Guide screen), your device will memorize all the TV Programs within a certain period of time.
•Remember to update the data periodically: the ARCHOS will remind you to update your TV Guide before it becomes obsolete (select the “Settings” menu item if you want to set the update reminder).
•You also have the possibility to let the ARCHOS automatically update the TV Program Guide information at night:
-Select the “Settings” menu item and set the “Automatic Updates” parameter to “On”.
-Then leave your ARCHOS on the powered DVR Station at night.
If your ARCHOS finds a configured WiFi network, the data will be updated automatically during the night. Thus you must leave your WiFi connection powered throughout the night.
Now that you have activated and downloaded on the TV program Guide onto the ARCHOS, you need to configure your TV Control settings, so that the DVR Station can communicate with your tuner.
4.3. configuring the TV control settings
When you select a TV program recording from the grid of programs, the DVR Station must be able to tell your TV tuner what channel to change to. This is done by having your DVR Station act like your tuner’s remote control and change the channel. Because of this, a one time TV Control setup must be done if you want the DVR Station to select the right channel to record.
Your ARCHOS needs to be connected to the DVR Station. You also need to have connected your tuner to the DVR Station (see: Diagram B on the Connection Guide sheet).
•From the ARCHOS Home Screen, select “Tools”,
“Settings”, and then choose “TV Control” to display the “TV Control” settings screen.
•This settings screen allows you to set the DVR Station’s infrared emitter (channel changing abili- ties) as well as configure the channel list.
