Electronic Program Guide The electronic program guide gives you a nice overview about your TV-Program. If you select a show you will get into the record screen. On the left side you will have multiple options for recording. On the right side you will see the description of the show and upcoming episodes (if available).

Groups: If you have predefined different channel-groups (bouquets, e.g. sports, news) you can select your favorite one, here.

Channels: Here you can browse all available channels (of the selected group) and select one.

TV on: Click TVon to turn TV on or off.

Timeshift: Click Timeshift to turn timeshift on or off

Timer: Here you can see your scheduled recordings and schedule a new manual recording.

Recorded TV: Here you can see your recorded shows.

Search: Here you can search for a show by name, artist, etc. You will see all upcoming shows and you can directly record a show.

Teletext: Here you will see Teletext for the current channel.

Fullscreen Mode

Timeline

The timeline shows your current position in time and in the "Timeshift Buffer".

White Arrows = Your actual position in the timeline

Red = The part of the show that is not covered by timeshift (from the moment on you switched to that channel or started timeshifting)

Green = The part of the show that is covered by timeshift (meaning you could rewind until the spot where red and green meet each other)

Orange = The part of the show ahead from your current position that is covered by timeshift (meaning you can forward til the end of the orange bar which is the live position of the current tv program when you e.g. hit pause and resume afterwards)
