What is 7 Day EPG for WinTV 

Certain digital DVB-T channels, along with their TV programmes, con-
tain a TV channel guide. This guide is a listing of the programs being
shown for the next 7 days, and includes the TV programme name,
programme start times and length. The 7 Day EPG for WinTV extracts
TV guide data from a DVB-T channel which contains this data. It cre-
ates a database on your computer. 

When the Hauppauge 7 Day EPG opens up with its chart of times and
TV programs, it reads the EPG database and formats the 7 Day EPG
guide window. If you would like to record one of these TV pro-
grammes listed in the 7 Day EPG for WinTV window, you simply click
the "Record" button and at the correct time your TV show will be
recorded on your PC.
