Tiscali launches new EPG

The broadband, phone and TV provider Tiscali is launching a new electronic programme guide (EPG) for the UK IPTV service.

This new EPG will be rolled out, starting on the 10th June, through a software update that is downloaded to the set top box automatically.

The new EPG will be faster and will now offer a widescreen display with high definition graphics.

Tiscali says that this new EPG will be the most user friendly and personalised system to be used by consumers in the UK.

The new system can be personalised to the extent that when it is switched on the user can put in their own personal greeting.

There is a digital clock and the preview panel has been enlarged to take up two thirds of the screen.
