EPG (Electronic Programme Guide)

EPG is an acronym that stands for Electronic Programme Guide. It is a function of digital television that gives the viewer an overview of broadcast TV programs. EPGs include a navigation system with information about programmes, as well as – depending on the level of sophistication – search functions for programme selection. They are offered by programme providers or third-party providers and are also available in most set-top boxes.
