country.

called host channels. It is important that the
host channel for your country is correctly

setup:

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.
• 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.)
