Modes of operation

EPG mode

EPG is the electronic station guide for TV programs. With this system, you can easily find the programs that interest you (sorted according to time, day, topics and programs). You can memorize programs and program recordings.

A wizard is activated the first time you use EPG (not with DVB) which guides you through the necessary settings. Then run the data acquisition (see page 16).
