Using TV Guide
TV Guide - 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 function varies depending on the country you select (p. 12). The postcode entry or update may be required to use the GUIDE Plus+ system depending on the country you select. “View advertisement” (p. 19)
DVB-T and Analogue channels are displayed on the same TV Guide screen. Analogue channels will be listed after DVB-T channels but there will be no programme listings. “D” means DVB-T channel and “A” means Analogue channel. 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.

If a compatible recorder with Q-Link, VIERA Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 52 and p. 53) and the “Link Settings” (p. 28) are completed, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder.
