Whats this EPG download message I get on Freeview?

[RichRSi]

My other half just tried BBC text on our Freeview box (linked to a normal TV and house ariel) and got a download pop-up for 1.1 to 2.0 and some 14day (free) EPG trial. Nothing else was explained. (all channels work incl the channel list so that doesnt need updating?)

I would hazzard a guess that they will want to charge for something after 14 days, but what exactly is this service etc supposed to be? Ads and pop ups on the net are bad enough without worrying that saying 'ok' to something on the TV is going to mess things up.

Thanks

Rich

It's a Daewoo (wierd eh) but it's probably at least 2 years old now. Missus clicked on it before I could read what it said but got board of waiting for the bar to update itself so she switched it off.
Doubt they can do much other than ask for a credit card to subscribe or whatever but seriously if I could nail the owners balls of these daft ideas to a block of wood for wasting my time I'd run out of f**king nails.
