About EPG Link

The EPG Link function automatically updates the date, start and stop times of timer settings when the broadcaster changes them and updates the EPG accordingly. For example, if a programme with timer setting starts before or ends after the scheduled time, the timer setting is automatically extended to record the whole programme. To use the EPG Link function, set “EPG Link” to “On” (default) in step 4 above.
