ELECTRONIC PROGRAMME GUIDE
The fourth way of selecting a channel is with the
electronic programme guide, or EPG. The EPG is
accessed by pressing the Guide key, [GUIDE]. Like
the Channel List, the EPG screen displays a list of
the stored channels (in pages of five channels)
along with information on what programmes are being
broadcast.

Current Programme
The channels are listed at the bottom of the screen,
each with the 'current event' (the name of the
programme showing at that time) and the 'next
event' (the following programme). When the EPG
screen is first displayed, the channel last watched
is highlighted in the list of channels. A quarter-screen
image of this channel is displayed at the top right
of the screen along with the channel name and
channel list number.
Details of the current programme on that channel
(the name of the programme and, typically, a
synopsis with details of the stars involved, the
teams playing, or similar information) along with the
start and finish times are displayed at the top left
inside the dark blue text window.
Hint
If the channel you have been viewing is a digital
teletext channel then no picture will appear in
the quarter-screen window.
Moving the highlight through the list of channels
using the [UP] and [DOWN] keys will change the
programme details in the text window to reflect the
channel highlighted. The quarter-screen window
continues to show the channel last watched, so you
can stay watching a programme while at the same
time browse the details of what's on, on other
channels.

You may then select the highlighted channel for
viewing on the quarter-screen window by pressing
the [SELECT] key.
You can leave the EPG screen, to enjoy normal full-
screen viewing of the channel in the quarter-screen
window by pressing the [GUIDE] key again, or the
[MENU] key.
Hint
Not all channels broadcast all the programme
information data. Some channels do not
provide the current and next event data and/or
the programme details. In this case the
programme names and/or the details are not
displayed. This is not a fault with your receiver.
Next Programme
While the EPG screen is displayed, pressing the
[RIGHT] key highlights, in dark blue, the next event
name in the list of channels and displays the
highlighted channel's programme details for the next
event (the programme following the current
programme) in the text window. As before, you can
browse through the list, checking the programmes
coming up next on all the channels.
Hint
If the programme details text for the current or
next event is too long to fit into the text window
on the EPG screen, a scroll bar appears on the
right hand side of the window and the text can
be scrolled up or down using the [YELLOW] and
[BLUE] keys on the remote control.
