The EPGplus functions allow you to:
-display information on programme contents on the screen
-display preview pictures of individual programmes
-mark specific programmes that will then be automatically switched on when the programme begins
-programme timers
-search for and select programmes by type of programme (genre).
7.16.1 Downloading EPGplus data
The programme information will be updated automatically by your receiver at the preselected updating time (Point 9.2.2), provided the receiver is in standby mode at the time. The downloading procedure will be indicated by the message Load EPG appearing in the display. The unit switches itself on at the preselected updating time in order to load the EPGplus data from the EPG channel data stream.
The downloading process is indicated by Loading EPG in the display. If your unit is not in use at the time, this function will not be carried out.
You can also start the download process manually directly after switching off (while the display is displaying Load EPG?) by pressing the EPG key. Load EPG appears in the display during the download process, as well as the percentage of EPGplus data already downloaded (e.g. 38%). The duration of the download process depends on the number of programmes to be downloaded.
A maximum of seven days in advance can be displayed. As more programmes are added to the electronic programme guide, the volume of data increases, and the preview period is reduced correspondingly.
It is up to you to decide which programmes should be listed in the electronic programme guide. These can be selected as described in Points 9.2.5 and 9.2.6.
7.16.2 Interrupting the download procedure
The downloading procedure can be interrupted by switching on the digital receiver (On/Standby key). The EPGplus data from the last update are then available.
7.16.3 Calling up the Electronic Programme Guide
>Press the EPG key on the remote control of the digital receiver. The Electronic Programme Guide then appears on the screen.
If you have selected the starting category Overview (Point 9.2.3), the channels you have selected, or those of the factory default settings, will be shown with their current programmes (see also Point 9.2).
You can now use the EPGplus function to find information on the content of the various Programmes. You can also use the EPGplus functions to select or mark the desired programme, or activate it in the Timer programming function.
7.16.4 Now (Table with current programme contents)
First the “Now” EPGplus table will be displayed, showing the programmes currently being broadcast. The yellow bar next to the programme name indicates the elapsed time of the current programme. The programme currently selected is marked.
> Use the up/down arrow keys to move the marker one line at a time.
