―

Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) provides an on screen listing of the programmes

currently broadcast and the forthcoming broadcasts over the next seven days (depending on the

broadcasters).

This TV supports the GUIDE Plus+ system.

●

The Gemstar branding partner will supply the rating informations in the programme information and the

●

recommended group in the Search list.

DVB and Analogue channels are displayed on the same TV Guide screen. “D” means DVB channel and “A”

●

means Analogue channel. There will be no programme listings for Analogue channels.

When this TV is turned on for the first time, or the TV is switched off for more than a week, it may take some time

●

before the TV Guide is completely shown.
