Freeview has its own eight-day electronic programme guide, named Freeview EPG; TVNZ's Teletext service is also available.[3] On Freeview Satellite the EPG is transmitted in both EIT and MHEG-5 formats. On Freeview|HD, the EIT has Present/Following and the text for only six schedule events per channel transmitted with full text scheduling available only via a MHEG-5 stream.[4]
