v2.0 user guide Page 2 Starting iGuide If iGuide is installed in the /ProgramFiles/Auto Start director y it will be loaded whenever the TF5800 is switched on; this is the recommended option. It can also be started manually, if installed elsewhere, through the usual Topfield TAP loading interface.
v2.0 user guide Page 3 Note that there is a TAP called CRID available from bdb’s stable, which finds and adds series link data to progr amme descriptions when broadcast by a channel. If this TAP is running alongside iGuide , then iGuide uses this extra data to make its s eries link pattern matching more accurate and quicker.
v2.0 user guide Page 4 7. Contiguous programme recordings Recordings are automatically padded at either end w ith user-definable values. However, if two programmes are to be recorded following each other on the same channel, there’s no possibility of padding.

The EPG Grid Screen The EPG Grid screen shows programme information for seven to ten channels at a time, over a certain time window (the size of which can be chosen as des cribed below).

v2.0 user guide Page 6 [REC]: If the programme currentl y selected in the grid has a s eries-link recording, pressing [REC] enters the Edit Pattern screen (see below) for this series-link. If that’s not the case and the currently selected programme has a recording, pressing [REC] tries to turn this into a series-link recording.

v2.0 user guide Page 10 3 . The EPG View (‘Welcome’) S creen The EPG View screen shows any EPG views currently created, and indicates the language each will display in.
v2.0 user guide Page 11 REFRESH RECORDINGS: Causes iGuide to rebuild its list of recordings against what’s on disk, to make sure that all recordings exist and are in the folders it thinks they are. This is us eful if other TAP s are moving files around unbeknow nst to iGuide , but should actually never be necessary in the general run of things.
v2.0 user guide Page 12 recording by deleting it a second time from the recordings/timers s creen when it is viewed there. KEEP CONTIGUOUS RECORDINGS...: apart; together : The apart setting places recordings of programmes in succession on the same channel in separate recording files.
v2.0 user guide Page 13 KEEP RECORD ING INFO FOR …: After a recording has been viewed and deleted iGuide will keep information about it for a certain number of days in order to stop a repeat of the show being recorded (assuming it was recorded via series link defined as unique – see below).

v2.0 user guide Page 17 Note that iGuide provides channel groups so that series links can span multiple channels. To choose a channel group, select a s tandard broadcast channel, and then press [CH+]. This will select the first appropriate channel group for the bas e channel.
v2.0 user guide Page 18 UNIQUE: A programme is said to be unique if its description and title are different to those of other programmes matching the same pattern.
v2.0 user guide Page 19 Note that this time applies to the recording from the next full hour after it finishes. That is to say, if a pattern has an expiry time of 1 day 3 hours, and a programme finishes recording at 1.25pm on a Tuesday, then the next full hour is 2pm, so it will be automatically deleted 1 day 3 hours later at 5pm on the Wednesday.
v2.0 user guide Page 20 9 . The Edit Skin Screen This screen allows the look and feel of iGuide to be edited. The colour of various parts of the display screen can be changed, and background images and skin files loaded and previewed. Key actions: [OK]: Preview any changes made.
