General information on the programme guide

What is the programme guide?
The electronic programme guide (in the following section referred to as the EPG for short) provides all
programme information free of charge (EPG data) and informs you up to a week in advance. However,
this programme information must be broadcast by the related channel provider. If no EPG data is
available the receiver shows the message "no data available" instead of showing information on
the current programme.
EPG data update
The EPG data for the currently selected channel is updated automatically in the background while you
are watching a TV channel. You can also have the EPG data updated automatically by the receiver.
Make the related setting on the menu "Mainmenu - Settings", "User Defi ned Settings", "EPG Setup" and
"EPG Grabbing Time". The receiver switches itself on at the selected time and updates the EPG data.
After updating the data, the receiver switches back to standby mode.
Information on current or subsequent programmes is only visible in the EPG only
if this data has been made available/broadcast by the channel provider. If no EPG
data are available the receiver, instead of showing information on the current
programme, shows the message "No data available". The data, if available,
are loading after switching to a channel.
