Viewing and Capturing TV Programs with WinDVR EPG Recording An electronic program guide, or EPG, is a web-based service that displays all the television and cable programs available, based on your type of TV service and your address. If your computer is connected to the Internet, WinDVR can connect to the free EPG service provided by TitanTV at http://www. titantv. com/. Register for the EPG Before trying to use the EPG in WinDVR 5, go to the TitanTV web site and register. Although the service is free, you must register and provide some information, including your address and the name of your cable or satellite provider. This allows the program guide to display whatever channels and programs are available in your area. View the EPG You can use the EPG function to create your own personalized program guide, and you can also schedule programs for recording. You don't have to actually be connected; WinDVR 5 will make the connection to the TitanTV web site automatically. In the WinDVR 5 play window you see the TitanTV screen, with a list of programs for your area and cable or satellite provider. To navigate through the EPG, use your mouse on the screen, or the buttons at the top of the play window. To quit the EPG and return to viewing TV in WinDVR, select the Quit iEPG button at the top right of the WinDVR play window. Plextor ConvertX PVR PX-TV402U Installation and Users Manual 41 Section 3.
