General information on the EPG What is the EPG? The EPG is an editorially pre-processed electronic programme guide containing free information about approximately 160 TV channels. The EPG displays information for TV channels up to two weeks in advance. EPG data is obtained from Gracenote or the programme provider. If no EPG data is available, the receiver shows the message No data available! Following first installa- tion, EPG data is available at the latest ●...
Page 48
Is there any reason external to the receiver that might mean the EPG does not work? If satellite reception systems from other manufacturers are used, EPG data transmission can fail if those systems do not work with transponder 12,603.75 MHz – horizontal – 22,000 KS/s. If you can receive the WDR Bonn TV channel, you should also be able to receive EPG data.
Operation ● If nothing is specified to the contrary, the operating instructions in this section assume that the EPG is in its initial state (Fig. 18). ● Please note the general information about operating instructions in 2.3, P. 9 ● Fig. 27, P. 60 shows an overview of EPG operation.
