Guide link programming (Timer Programming from the TV Guide signal)

Guide link programming is Timer Programming which is controlled by information from the TV Guide; if programme start and end times are changed by the broadcaster, the timer programming event will follow the change.

A Split Programme programming is a Guide link programming which is interrupted by one or more other programmes. Note that Guide link programming (including Split Programme programming) only works reliably if correct information is received from broadcasters.

Note

If you edit the start time or end time of a Guide link programming event by more than 10 minutes, it will no longer follow the broadcaster’s changes to the start or end time. The start and end times will become fixed.

Whilst making the Split Programme programming event for [Ext Rec.], you cannot record any channels between the interrupted programmes.

The Split Programme programming event for Reminder will be cleared by pressing the OK button once to view.

The Split Programme programming event for Reminder will switch to the programmed channel by pressing the OK button even if it is between the interrupted programmes.

The Split Programme programming does not work if the separated parts are broadcast on different channels.

Depending on the broadcaster, the digital teletext (MHEG) services may not be available. In this case, the operation of the teletext services may be the same as the analogue teletext services (p. 22).

Digital teletext (MHEG)

Digital teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext.

When you switch to a digital teletext service, the images you see can contain graphics and text, laid out and controlled in a manner decided by the broadcaster.

Note

As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is complete, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again when the download is complete.

While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example“Loading”) to let you know that this is happening.
