6.13.1 Entering EPG data
Your receiver will update programme information daily, at 05h00, provided it is in standby mode at that time.
The receiving of data will be shown by EPLd on the receiver display. If your receiver is swit- ched on at this time, the download of information will not take place.
If you press the EPG key immediate after switching off the receiver (into standby mode), you can also initiate a download manually.
The duration of the download will depend on the number of programmes being updated. The system will show programmes up to a maximum of seven days in advance. As the number of available programmes increases, so the volume of data will cause a reduction in the period of time that can be previewed in the Electronic Programme Guide.
You can decide for yourself which programmes should be included in the Electronic Pro- gramme Guide, the details can be entered as described in Point 7.5.
