The Electronic Program Guide

In the filter settings you can select the genre, date and time to obtain information about programs in the future. You can choose a day and the time of the day (morning, afternoon, evening and night) from dropdown lists or you can set the exact time with the + and buttons.

If you tap the button, the EPG data will automatically display the programs currently playing of the genre(s) you have selected.

In the program overview the list of programs that meet your selection criteria, which you defined in the upper part of the screen, appears.

The detailed information for the selected program is displayed in the left part of the screen: subject, actors, start and end time, and so on.

For example, tap the Movies button and select Wednesday Evening, 8:00 PM in the filter settings. A list of movies that are playing at that time on Wednesday will appear in the program overview. When you select one of the movies in the list, a detailed description will appear in the left part of the EPG.

The EPG has two power features:

The Watch Feature

When you select a program in the program overview, you can immediately surf to this program with the button.

This Watch button only appears when you select a program that is currently playing on TV.

appear. With these SmartSurf buttons you can easily surf through the programs in the list. For example: if you want to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

watch sports but not drama or home shopping, then tap “sports” and flip through only what you want to see: football,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

soccer, baseball, tennis, car racing. With the SmartSurf buttons your TV will simply surf through the sports shows that
