var fDesc=new Array(); fDesc[0] = "The nxtvepg software package is a decoder for nexTView - an Electronic TV Programme Guide for the analog domain. It enables you to receive and browse free TV programme listings for all of the major networks in Germany, Austria, France and Switzerland.

The nexTView EPG standard was developed by the major European consumer electronics manufacturers under the hood of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in 1995-1997 with the aim to offer an "electronic TV magazine" inside their analog TV sets. The transmission protocol is based on teletext, however using a compact binary format instead of pre-formatted text pages. The advantage compared to paper-based TV magazines is that you have an immediate overview what's running Now & Next, plus you can search through the programme database by many different filter categories.

Now the nxtvepg software enables you to use nexTView EPG with your PC too, and adds a lot of features that would not be possible to implement inside a TV set. The only preconditions are (a) that you have a TV tuner card for TV reception inside your PC and (b) that you receive one of the nexTView EPG content provider's TV channels. Note you also can receive Nextview EPG through digital transmissions, if your equipment is capable of teletext output."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
