The channels are listed at theleft of the screen,
each with the 'current event' (the name of the
programme showing at that time) and the 'next
events' (the following programmes). When the EPG
screen is first displayed, the channel last watched
is highlighted in the list of channels.
Details of the selected 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 bottom
of the screen.
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.
You can leave the EPG screen, 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.
While the EPG screen is displayed, pressing the
[UP] or [DOWN] keys
changes the time and
displays the highlighted channel's programme details
for the next events in time in the text window. As
before, you can browse through the list, checking
the programmes coming up next on all the channels.
Pressing the [OK] key while the next event details
are displayed will set a reminder to watch that
programme. The scheduled icon will appear.
You can return to the list of channels by pressing
the [LEFT] key or to the time and short event
description list by pressing [RIGHT] key.
You can change the day by pressing [BLUE] or
[YELLOW] keys. Pressing [YELLOW] will display
events of the next day. Pressing [BLUE] will display
the events of the previous day.
You can return to normal television viewing (to watch
the channel last selected in the EPG screen) by
pressing the [GUIDE] key again, or the [MENU] key.
DIGITAL TELETEXT
Many digital terrestrial television channels not only
broadcast pictures and sound for programmes but
also pages of information on the programmes, the
weather, news and many other topics. This digital
teletext can be displayed by the receiver.
Some channels are entirely given over to digital
teletext and carry no normal TV programme at all.
These dedicated digital teletext channels will not give
a quarter-screen image in the EPG or the Channel
List screen. When such a channel is selected, after
a brief pause, they will usually display the opening
page of information automatically.
Other channels have digital teletext pages
broadcast alongside the television programme and
often include a reduced-size broadcast picture within
digital teletext pages. These usually require the
[TEXT] button to be pressed to activate the digital
teletext pages.
In both cases, moving through the different pages
of information is accomplished in a variety of ways,
dependent on the individual broadcasters, but
including use of the [UP], [DOWN], [LEFT],
[RIGHT] and [OK] keys to select items from on-
screen menus, and the coloured keys to jump
directly to particular pages.
You can exit any digital teletext channel by changing
channel in any of the normal ways. You can leave
the digital teletext function of a combined digital
teletext/programme channel, to return to normal
television viewing of that channel, by pressing the
[TEXT] key.
Hint
When you press the (i) button or (MENU)
button, information banner or menu appears.
When you press those buttons again, the
previous digital teletext screen is displayed.
When you press the (Text) button while subtitles
are on, the subtitles are turned off.
When you press the (Text) button again, the
digital teletext screen is displayed.
