AEP boxes will receive EPG as an XML file and set up guide and channel designations.
There is no way to “map” IPTV
channels from EPG for non AEP devices. Programming information must be loaded onto these devices via proprietary
methods. However, guide information can be displayed on a set IP stream.

Each channel in the EPG is comprised of a still image and it can take up to 10 seconds to produce the image
for every channel being offered when the EPG is first loaded. For example, a location offering a list of 18
channels can expect to wait up to 3 minutes for a first-time EPG configuration.
Due to the combination of the auto-scroll programming and the constant addition of new channels, you can
expect the EPG to exhibit some odd behavior during the initial image creation. It may appear to skip around
at random, but it can be expected to settle back into a normal operational state once it has finished
generating all the necessary images.
AEP
DIRECTV Advanced Entertainment Package set top boxes require guide information formatted in an XML file.
Checking the AEP box in the Mode field will create the required file.
Channel mapping for AEP and PSIP modes are the same.
The EPG is a video-only channel, and you cannot set audio to play in the background.
