1 . The EPG Grid Screen
The EPG Grid screen shows programme
information for seven to ten channels at a time,
over a certain time window (the size of which
can be chosen as described below). The
channels displayed are taken from, and ordered
by, the current EPG View (see below).
Access the EPG grid screen by pressing the
[GUIDE] button. [GUIDE] or [EXIT] will
close the screen and revert to the current channel.
Other key actions:
[RED/GREEN]: Move a page up/down i.e. to the previous/next set of channels
[YELLOW/BLUE]: Move forward/back 24 hours
[UP/DOWN]: Move to the previous/next channel in the list
[LEFT/RIGHT]: Move to the previous/next programme on the current channel, or
backward/forward by half an hour if the previous/next programme is
not on the current screen.
[CH DN/UP]: Move to the previous/next programme on the current channel. If that’s
off the screen, move the grid back/forth in time to view the
programme.
[REW/FFW]: Move one page back/forward in time (i.e. if you’re looking at a grid
covering 3.00pm to 6.00pm [REW] will move to a page covering
12.00pm to 3.00pm; [FFW] will move to a page covering 6.00pm to
9.00pm).
[PIP]: Change the size of the time window. Pressing [PIP] repeatedly will
cycle through time periods from 1 hour to 4 hours in half-hour chunks.
The greater the time period, the more programmes are shown at once -
but with less detail for each programme title.
[OK]: If the programme currently selected in the grid is a “NO
INFORMATION” event, pressing [OK] triggers an attempt to get
EPG information for the channel and repopulate the screen.
If that’s not the case and the currently selected programme is on now,
pressing [OK] tunes to it.
Otherwise, pressing [OK] acts as if [REC] were pressed (see below).
This functionality is optional – see the Configuration screen section
below for information on enabling/disabling this feature.
