7 Day EPG for WinTV 

• See TV listings for the next 7 days.
• Make sheduled recordings at the click of a button.
• Schedule TV recordings where ever you are! (Internet connection required).

Certain digital DVB-T channels, along with their TV programmes, contain a TV channel guide. This guide is a listing of the programs being run for the next 7 days, and includes the TV programme name, programme start times and length. The 7 Day EPG for WinTV extracts TV guide data from a DVB-T channel which contains this data, stores the TV guide data in a database on your PC and then shows the times/channels/programs on the 7 Day EPG for WinTV window your PC screen.

If you would like to record one of these TV programmes listed in the 7 Day EPG, you simply click the "Record" button and at the correct time your TV show will be recorded on your PC.

How the 7 Day EPG works:
When you launch the 7Day EPG, it spends a few minutes reading the TV guide data from one of the DVB-T channels. The amount of time it takes to read the data is related to the number of channels in your DVB-T transmission area. The more channels, the longer it takes to read all of the data.

After the 7 Day EPG reads the TV guide data, it creates a database on your computer. When the Hauppauge 7Day EPG opens up with its chart of times and TV programs, it reads the EPG database and formats the 7 Day EPG guide window.

When you click a "record" button, the7 Day EPG schedules a task to record your TV show from a DVB-T channel. The scheduled task is added to Windows Scheduled Tasks. Please note: you need to have a user name and password on your PC in order for he scheduled recordings to record through Windows Sheduled Tasks.

The scheduled recordings can be viewed and modified through the WinTV Scheduler.

At the scheduled time, WinTV will open and will tune to the chosen TV channel. It will then start to record the show. The format of the file name is [Programme title]_[Time]_[Date].mpg.
