What is EPG?

An electronic program guide (EPG) is a feature utilized with most digital IPTV devices and modern televisions to post current and cataloged programs that are or will go live on each specific channel and represents a brief review or explanation for each TV program. EPG is the digital replacement of a written television program guide on paper.

 

 

EPG can always be obtained by using a remote control for your IPTV device or TV. The menus are presented that enables the end user to inspect a list of TV programs listed for the upcoming hours up to the following seven days. A standard EPG combines options to establish parental controls, purchase pay-per-view contents, explore the programs based on subject or category, and also adjust a recording device to record the programs based on a specific time. All digital television providers propose their own unique user interface and data for their EPG.
