Please note that these functions are only available when sub-titles are actually being broadcast, and the settings are not stored in memory if you switch to another channel.

7.14 Electronic Programme Guide SFI

Your digital receiver provides an electronic programme guide. This allows you to view the programme information relating to one or more programmes on your screen.

You can very quickly obtain an overview of programmes cur- rently being broadcast, or you can view all the programmes being broadcast today, or on the following days.

The SFI functions allow you to:

-display information relating to programme contents on your screen

-mark programmes you wish to view, which will be automatically selected when the programme begins

-programme time events

-search for and set programmes according to the pro- gramme type or category.

7.14.1 Downloading SFI data

The programme in formation is updated by your receiver at the times set in accordance with Point 8.2.3 (SFI Channel). The only proviso is that the receiver must be in standby mode.

The download procedure is indicated by the message SFld in the display. If your receiver is switched on at this time, the function will not be carried out.

You can also initiate a manual download procedure immedia- tely after switching the reciver off (while the display shows “oooo”) by pressing the SFI key. During the download proce- dure the message SFld will appear briefly in the display, fol- lowed by an indication of the percentage of SFI data already transferred, e.g.038P for 38%).

The duration of the download procedure will depend on the number of programmes that need to be updated. The maxi- mum period in advance for which data is available is seven days. Based on the limit on total data that can be stored, this time-frame will be reduced the more programmes are listed in the electronic programme guide.

You can decide for yourself, which programme should be listed in the electronic programme guide. These can be added to the list as described in Point 8.2.1.

7.14.2 Interrupting the download

The download procedure can be interrupted by switching on the digital receiver(On/Standby key). The SFI data obtained during the previous update remains available.
