4 Choose the link to create a subscription and follow the instructions.
5 In the screen that summarizes your subscription details, choose Next.
The ‘Create a subscription – Activation Key’ screen will appear. This screen
contains your activation key. Make a note of this key and choose Proceed to
Personalization.
Tip You will need the activation key later on to activate the EPG on your RC9800i.
Personalizing the EPG
You can personalize your EPG by indicating the stations you want to include in the
EPG. This list of stations is called a lineup. The EPG application on your RC9800i will
download and display only stations that are in the lineup(s) that you have defined, and
leave out stations that you don’t receive or are not interested in.
On your PC, perform the following steps to define your lineup(s). A wizard will guide
you through:
1 In the ‘Create a subscription – Activation Key’ screen, choose Proceed to
personalization.
2 In the Personalization Home Page, choose Add a lineup.
3 (US users only) Enter your ZIP code.
4 Choose the appropriate TV signal source (Cable, Satellite, Antenna), then
choose Next.
5 (US users only) If applicable, choose your provider.
6 Select the stations that you want EPG data for (European users: also
indicate the corresponding channel number). When done choose Finish
(European users: Choose Next).
7 (European users only) When satisfied with the selection you have made,
choose Finish. Otherwise choose Back.
If you have multiple TV signal sources, e.g. a satellite receiver and a cable box, you can
define additional lineups (up to 4). In this case repeat steps 2 to 5 for all your TV signal
sources. When you have added all lineups, in the Personalization Home Page, choose
Advanced and assign a lineup ID to every TV signal source. Make a note of the lineup
IDs that you have assigned, as you will need them when doing the EPG-related settings
on the RC9800i.
Settings on the RC9800i
Once you have created an EPG subscription and received an activation key, you must
bind it to link your RC9800i to the subscription you made in order to make the EPG
available on the RC9800i. This so-called “Activating the EPG” is something that you
only have to do once.
Activating the EPG on the RC9800i
