TVTV EPG and Timer

The EPG is a latest-generation Electronic Programme Guide. It provides all the EPG information for around 60 TV channels at no charge, without you having to change channel, and also offers schedule information up to a week ahead (depending on programme provider).

Accessing the TVTV EPG for the First Time

Press  to access the EPG. The first time you access it (if you

have not yet run an ASTRA satellite scan and the data have not yet been updated!) you see the following on-screen display:

To safeguard the functionality of

the EPG, the satellite scan must be run on the ASTRA satellite (in multifeed reception mode for “All satellites”). In this operation the necessary signal identifiers for

the EPG are downloaded (SID, TSID and OID).

Press to cancel the display. Exit the EPG by pressing the 

button. You now have two options for updating the data:

-To get the data immediately, switch the receiver off by the button. The receiver first displays the message “Receiving tvtv”, then the download status as a percentage (Downloading tvtv ...%). As soon as the display no longer indicates this message, you can switch the

receiver back on by pressing the  button and begin using the

EPG.

-To download the data at a specific time when you will not be using the receiver, you can set a download time on the receiver as described under “User Preference” - “EPG Grabbing Setup”.
