Using the programme guide
Your DTR has access to two programme guides. initially your DTR will
provide the standard freeview 7 day programme guide, but as soon as
your DTR has acquired the Top Up TV on-screen programming guide, you
will have access to 14 day listings. The programme guide screen gives you
a fast way of planning your viewing and recording. To access this guide,
press the gUiDe button.
The guide shows the next three periods of 30 minutes, for each channel.
while in the programme guide, you can navigate around using the arrow
buttons. Up / DowN arrows will move between channels, while the LefT
and RighT arrows move in time. The guide is split into three sections of
30 minutes each. The information contained in a time segment usually shows the name of
the programme. This is only the case when the programme takes up the whole of that 30
minute time slot. As programmes can be longer or shorter than 30 minutes, the programme
guide has been constructed to inform you of this.
if a programme is longer than 30 minutes the next time slot shows three dots to indicate that the
programme runs in to the next slot. if a programme is shorter that 30 minutes the programme
name is followed by an arrow to indicate that more than one programme exists in that slot.
if a programme does not start exactly on the
time boundary, it will have two dots in front
of the programme name to indicate that it
starts later than the time shown in the column
heading.
if you leave the highlighter box over a
programme for more than five seconds, a
box will appear showing a synopsis of the
programme. it also shows the start and end
times for that programme in the top right-hand
corner.
