4. EPG (Electronic Program Guide)

The EPG (Electronic Program Guide) is a time table of TV programs which show upcoming programs on a network. The EPG information is supplied by TV broadcasters as an optional service, therefore the DP-S1 can not provide a full EPG if some broadcasters do not provide this information.

The DP-S1 supports a full 7-day EPG provided as a subscription from IceTV. Please visit the IceTV website, www.icetv.com.au, to set your trial account and refer to Chapter 8 to organize it on your DP-S1.

The DP-S1 supports two types of EPG interface which will be explained. You can enter the EPG with the GUIDE button and change the EPG type with the RED button. If you want to exit from the EPG, please press the EXIT button.

4-1. EPG with Single Service

This EPG shows only one service at a time. You can change to the multiple-service EPG with the RED button. Programs are listed vertically by time. Therefore you can move cursor to the previous or next program with the UP/DOWN buttons. If you want to review another service, press the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to change.

The small screen displays the program you are watching before you enter to the EPG. The screen will not change when you change the service with the LEFT/RIGHT buttons in order to prevent from refreshing the time-shifting buffer. You can check information of a program on the message window when you place the cursor on the program.

You can move the cursor with the GREEN, YELLOW and BLUE buttons instead of pressing the UP or DOWN button continuously.
