An EPG dialog is provided that allows the user to view the current and next program playing on each
channel.
In this dialog the service currently selected is minimized to approximately ¼ of the screen and
displayed in the top right. A list of channels and the corresponding current and next programs is
displayed. The user can navigate up and down the list of channels and highlight either the now or
next program.
Information for the highlighted program is displayed in the box to the left of the video. This information
includes the start/end time of the program, the program genre in brackets, and a synopsis of the
program content.
A user may select a service by highlighting a program in the "now" list and pressing the "OK" key.
Reminder timers can be set for the next program on each service, a user highlights the "next" program
that they wish be reminded of and presses select. A clock icon is displayed next to those "next"
programs that have reminders set.
