What is an EPG?
An “EPG (Electronic Programme Guide)” is a
programme schedule, which is displayed on the TV
screen. The EPG is broadcasted together with DTV.
The TV screen shows the EPG when the viewer
presses EPG on the remote control, provided that
the TV is receiving the digital broadcasting signal. The
EPG enables you to search for a programme, do timer
recording or view the programme schedule in detail.
