Electronic program guide (for digital TV mode)

The electronic program guide (EPG) is an onscreen service available on digital and cable TV that provides information about
scheduled broadcast programs on all channels by time, title, channel and genre.

EPG screen

There are three main areas of the EPG screen:

a. Program introduction area

A short description of the highlighted program is located at the top center of the EPG page; lengthy descriptions will be cut
short using "..." to indicate extra text.

The content area is divided into three columns: date, channel and program.

Use the directional keys and the OK key to navigate between the items in the content area.
