Program and System Information (PSIP)

Standards were devised as part of the ATSC system to allow TV stations to transmit Program Service Information Protocol (or PSIP) for DTV channels. This information system would allow stations to broadcast various electronic on-screen program guides in order to inform digital TV viewers of station channel locations and availability of programs.

Not all initial digital broadcast programs contain, or will be available with, the PSIP program guides. The 64PP9901 DPTV provides two separate Full Installation digital channel autoprogramming options, based on whether PSIP information is present or not. You may want to initially use the “Install Without Program and System Info” option in order to display and program the DTV channels, and avoid any difficulties in first time setup or autoprogramming of the DPTV.
