Electronic Program Guide (EPG)
DVB-compliant stations broadcast additional information about their
programs, such as titles or details about current or upcoming programs.
Some stations may even broadcast a program schedule for up to 64 days
in advance. This service is currently e.g. provided by almost all German
stations transmitting on Astra 1, usually with a preview period of approx.
5 days. The receiver automatically detects EPG data and provides the
information available.
Please ensure that the correct local time is set in Main Menu Æ Edit
Settings Æ Timezone (+1:00 for Central Europe, +0:00 for Great
Britain), as otherwise wrong starting and end times of the programs will
be displayed.
