3. The "Schedule" Menu

The "Schedule" menu implements VDR's "Electronic Program Guide" (EPG).

Select  "Schedule" from  the "VDR"  menu and  you get  a list  of  all upcoming
broadcasts on the current channel.

"Up" and  "Down" can  be used to  scroll through  this list, and  pressing "Ok"
displays detailed information about the selected programme. Pressing "Ok" again
(or pressing "Back") gets you back into the "Schedule" menu.

From the "Schedule"  menu, the "Green" button opens the  "What's on now?" menu,
which displays all  programmes that are currently running  on all channels that
broadcast  their programme  information  on the  current  transponder, or  from
channels that have  been current lately (VDR stores  all information it gathers
in an internal list). The more channels you have been switching through lately,
the longer this  list will be. The "Yellow" button opens  the "What's on next?"
menu, which lists all programmes that will start next on all channels.

Inside the "What's  on now/next?" menus the "Green"  button toggles between the
"Now" and "Next"  display, and the "Yellow" button takes  you to the "Schedule"
menu of the current channel in the list.

The "Red" button allows you to instantly program a timer to record the selected
programme. You  will get  into the  "Edit Timer" menu  in which  everything has
already been  filled in,  and you can  make any  modifications you may  want to
apply. Note  that the  Start and Stop  time are  offset by the  MarginStart and
MarginStop parameters (see Setup) in order to make sure the entire programme is
recorded in case  it doesn't exactly adhere to  its published start/stop times.
Of course,  no guarantee can  be given that  the default margin values  will be
sufficient, so in  case this recording is really important you  may want to add
an extra margin ;-)

The "Blue"  button can be  pressed to switch  to the channel with  the selected
programme.
