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).●
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.
