6.4 Electronic Program Guide (EPG)
DVB-compliant stations broadcast additional information about their
programs, such as titles or details about current or upcoming programs.
Some stations may even broadcast a program schedule for up to 64
days in advance. This service is currently e.g. provided by almost all

of approx. 5 days. The receiver automatically detects EPG data and
