Electronic Program Guide

Electronic Program Guide (EPG) or is a on-screen guide to scheduled broadcast television programs, allowing a viewer to navigate, select, and discover content by time, title, channel, genre, etc.

The technology is based upon broadcasting data within the signal. EPGs are typically sent within the broadcast transport stream or alongside it in a special data channel. The technology is predominant in the digital television and radio world. These signals may arrive via cable TV, satellite TV, cable radio, satellite radio, or via over-the-air terrestrial broadcast stations.

By navigating through an EPG on a receiving device, users can see more information about the current program and about future programs. Combined with AVS TV Box, EPG enables a viewer to plan his or her viewing and record broadcast programs to a hard disk for later viewing.

• Time: The exact date and time of the program
• Duration: The duration of the program (hours: minutes: seconds)

In the lower part of the EPG window you can see the detailed description of each program.
