Bouquet Selection

The TV services are transmitted in subscribed packages called
BOUQUETS, each bouquet containing a series of services. The
decoder has provision for several bouquets, any of which can be
selected by pressing TV on the RCU, highlighting the required bouquet
using the up/down arrows on the RCU , then following the on-screen
instructions. If a selected bouquet is not subscribed to, a message “E38
Service is not currently running”  will appear on the TV screen.

When a subscribed to bouquet is selected, the services in that bouquet
will be  listed numerically in the Electronic Programme Guide (see page
15).

#

Directly

#

By stepping through services

#
