6. It is possible to add non-DIRECTV channels to the EPG. This is done by adding an entry
where instead of a DIRECTV channel number, the capital letter „N‟ appears followed by
the channel name, and program information separated by underscore characters. For
example:
10-1 NLobby_The_lobby_channel 1 17
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. The EPG is a video-only channel, and you cannot set audio to play in the background.
10. A COM24 card that is set to transcode cannot support an EPG. This means that any
COM24 that has been paired with an XDR24 is incapable of storing and displaying an
EPG.
11. Because the EPG is generated from the DIRECTV program guide data, you can only add
channels that are active in the DIRECTV channel lineup. For example, you cannot add
an independent local channel to your EPG unless it is also offered on DIRECTV.
12.
You must remember to reprogram the EPG anytime your location‟s channel offering is
remapped.
