The channels are listed at theleft of the screen, each with the 'current event' (the name of the programme showing at that time) and the 'next events' (the following programmes). When the EPG screen is first displayed, the channel last watched is highlighted in the list of channels.
Details of the selected programme on that channel (the name of the programme and, typically, a synopsis with details of the stars involved, the teams playing, or similar information) along with the start and finish times are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

While the EPG screen is displayed, pressing the [UP] or [DOWN] keys changes the time and displays the highlighted channel's programme details for the next events in time in the text window. As before, you can browse through the list, checking the programmes coming up next on all the channels.
Pressing the [OK] key while the next event details are displayed will set a reminder to watch that programme. The scheduled icon will appear.
You can return to the list of channels by pressing the [LEFT] key or to the time and short event description list by pressing [RIGHT] key.
You can change the day by pressing [BLUE] or [YELLOW] keys. Pressing [YELLOW] will display events of the next day. Pressing [BLUE] will display the events of the previous day.

You can exit any digital teletext channel by changing channel in any of the normal ways. You can leave the digital teletext function of a combined digital teletext/programme channel, to return to normal television viewing of that channel, by pressing the [TEXT] key.
