The Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) is what you're after. I'm afraid you can't get one on that Ross box.

To get an EPG you have to buy a box that is branded by either Sky or Freesat (as both of those organisations operate an EPG service), or else buy any other Free-to-air satellite receiver that is capable of being programmed to collect data from one of those EPG services.

Unfortunately the Ross kit doesn't give you any of those options. Which is probably one of the reasons why it's so cheap.
