NexTView Electronic Programme Guide (EPG)
The NexTView Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) provides you with programming information
from different broadcasters, depending on availability of service.
Selecting your NexTView provider 
Your TV automatically selects the best NexTView provider for you. This service is available about
30 minutes after you automatically tune the TV. You can however change this selection if you wish.
Notes: *Select the ‘-----’ option to receive the EPG service provided by the current TV channel. When you
change the TV channel the EPG from the new channel is automatically loaded (if an EPG service is
available).
Selecting any EPG provider other than the ‘-----’ option may result in a delay in Teletext subpage
operation.
