5 Identify the host channel for your country.
The TV listings information available in GUIDE Plus+ is
distributed throughout Europe by selected broadcasters
called host channels. It is important that the host
channel for your country is correctly identified in order to
receive listings information (EPG download).
A If you are not using an external receiver, this recorder
will automatically scan all channels for the host channel:
• Leave the recorder in standby overnight (do not leave
it switched on).
B If you are using an external receiver, you need to
identify the host channel from the table below:
Country/
Host channels
Region
Austria Eurosport
Belgium Music Factory (TMF)
(Flemish)
France Canal+
Germany Eurosport
Italy Sport Italia
Netherlands Music Factory (TMF),
Eurosport
Spain Tele 5
Switzerland Eurosport
UK ITV, Eurosport
• Tune your external receiver to the appropriate host
channel and leave the receiver on and the recorder in
standby overnight.
C If you use both an external receiver and this recorder
as sources, follow the instructions above for setting up
without an external receiver. Only if this is unsuccessful
try the external receiver method.
About EPG download
• EPG data can only be received when the recorder is
in standby. (When not using the recorder, therefore,
please switch it into standby.) If you're using an
external receiver, leave this on when EPG data is
downloading.

ITV is analog only. Use
Eurosport if you are a SKY
subscriber and you no longer
have a terrestrial antenna.
• If you cannot receive any of the host channels (see
the above table) then you won't be able to use the
GUIDE Plus+ system. In this case do not set the
postal code (or set Country to Other) in the GUIDE
Plus+ setup screen. (When GUIDE Plus+ service
starts in your area, set the postal code again.)
• Even if you can't use the EPG functions where you
live, you can still set ShowView timer recordings and
manual recordings — see Setting a timer recording on
page 53.
• The front panel display shows EPG when receiving
data. If you power on the recorder during an EPG
download, the download is canceled.
• EPG data may be received several times a day. All
updates are automatic.
• When downloading EPG data, the recorder may
sound as though it is on. This is normal.

You should see a grid filled with channel logos and TV
listings information. Use the
list. If you notice that there are channels missing, or that
there are channels in the list that you don't get, go to the
Editor screen:
• Press repeatedly until the Menu bar is highlighted.
• Press until Editor is highlighted. The main area of
the screen now shows a list of channels. Those that
are turned ON are displayed in the grid; those that
are OFF are hidden. Use the
move down the list and turn channels ON or OFF as
necessary.
• For any channel that you turn ON, the GUIDE Plus+
system will need to know how it is received (the
source) and on which program number. The source
may be the built-in tuner of this recorder, or an
external receiver. The program number is the number
