Please note that these functions are only available
when sub-titles are actually being broadcast, and the
settings are not stored in memory if you switch to
another channel.
7.14 Electronic Programme Guide SFI
Your digital receiver provides an electronic programme guide.
This allows you to view the programme information relating to
one or more programmes on your screen.
You can very quickly obtain an overview of programmes cur-
rently being broadcast, or you can view all the programmes
being broadcast today, or on the following days.
The SFI functions allow you to:
- display information relating to programme contents on
your screen
- mark programmes you wish to view, which will be
automatically selected when the programme begins
- programme time events
- search for and set programmes according to the pro-
gramme type or category.
7.14.1 Downloading SFI data
The programme information is updated by your receiver at
the times set in accordance with Point 8.2.3 (SFI Channel).
The only proviso is that the receiver must be in standby
mode.
The download procedure is indicated by the message SFld
in the display. If your receiver is switched on at this time, the
function will not be carried out.
You can also initiate a manual download procedure immedia-
tely after switching the reciver off (while the display shows
“oooo”) by pressing the SFI key. During the download proce-
dure the message SFld will appear briefly in the display, fol-
lowed by an indication of the percentage of SFI data already
transferred, e.g.038P for 38%).
The duration of the download procedure will depend on the
number of programmes that need to be updated. The maxi-
mum period in advance for which data is available is seven
days. Based on the limit on total data that can be stored, this
time-frame will be reduced the more programmes are listed in
the electronic programme guide.
You can decide for yourself, which programme should be
listed in the electronic programme guide. These can be
added to the list as described in Point 8.2.1.
7.14.2 Interrupting the download
The download procedure can be interrupted by switching on
the digital receiver(On/Standby key). The SFI data obtained
during the previous update remains available.
