7.14 Electronic Programme Guide SFI
Your digital receiver provides an electronic programme guide. This allows you to view the
programme information relating to one or more programmes on your screen.
You can very quickly obtain an overview of programmes currently being broadcast, or you
can view all the programmes being broadcast today, or on the following days.
The SFI functions allow you to:
- display information relating to programme contents on your screen
- mark programmes you wish to view, which will be automatically selected when the
programme begins
- programme time events
- search for and set programmes according to the programme type or category.
7.14.1 Downloading SFI data
The programme information is updated by your receiver at the times set in accordance with
Point 8.2.3 (SFI Channel). The only proviso is that the receiver must be in standby mode.
The download procedure is indicated by the message SFld in the display. If your receiver is
switched on at this time, the function will not be carried out.
You can also initiate a manual download procedure immediately after switching the reciver
off (while the display shows “oooo”) by pressing the SFI key. During the download procedure
the message SFld will appear briefly in the display, followed by an indication of the percen-
tage of SFI data already transferred, e.g.038P for 38%).
The duration of the download procedure will depend on the number of programmes that
need to be updated. The maximum period in advance for which data is available is seven
days. Based on the limit on total data that can be stored, this time-frame will be reduced the
more programmes are listed in the electronic programme guide.
You can decide for yourself, which programme should be listed in the electronic programme
guide. These can be added to the list as described in Point 8.2.1.
7.14.2 Interrupting the download
The download procedure can be interrupted by switching on the digital
receiver(On/Standby key). The SFI data obtained during the previous update remains avai-
lable.
