Make article less US specific

The article talks about ATSC and PSIP whereas many countries are using DVB building the EPG from the EIT(schedule) SI data. If the article is going to be specific about how US systems build the EPG, would it not be sensible to include information about how DVB systems build their EPG?

Make article include Digital Radio

The article should also consider the EPG broadcast using the Eureaka 147 standard (and possible HD-Radio standard). gonkyhead 16:58, 05 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong link

The link "TV-Browser - Open Source EPG software" leeds to a web page, which has nothing to do with EPG.

as it shows a picture of EPG software available to download. I'd tell you more, but it's in German and I don't have the energy to use Babel Fish. --69.123.165.15 02:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TV-Browser is a GPL Java based EPG software, providing German, Swedish and British channels for free. The software itself also has English localization, see its English wiki.

"In Australia, the lack of a seven-day electronic program guide..."

"In Australia, the lack of a seven-day electronic program guide has neccessitated datacast channels such as Seven Guide, Nine Guide, Ten Guide and the defunct SBS Essential to provide program information." On my MythTV the EPG works fine when getting info from the DTV card. --211.28.35.33 (talk) 19:33, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it isn't credible, and as it isn't verifiable either I have removed it. Thanks, SqueakBox 19:39, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Digital EPG

EPGs can be utilized in a non-displayed format as the article itself cites: hence I changed "on-screen guide" to "digital" Ð’n —Preceding undated comment was added at 10:16, 24 December 2008 (UTC). [reply]

American or British English?

According to the "first kind of English used" rule (ENGVAR) the article should be in British English, but the article title is in American. I have no preference either way. But it would be nice if a decision was made. 118.90.28.56 (talk) 00:57, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

EPG vs. IPG

I have reverted some edits by 96.229.210.15, who started changing "EPG" into "IPG" without any previous discussion. As for now the complete article is named Electronic program guide (="EPG") and sources are also referring to "EPG" and not to "IPG". I cannot find good reason for changing "EPG" into "IPG". If there is any, let's first discuss! Mentalmoses (talk) 15:34, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
