ABSTRACT:
A television calendar arranged in a channel/time of day matrix for combined visual selection of programs for direct viewing and for use in automatic recording of programs for future viewing having a vertical column of bar codes that are encoded to represent and arranged adjacent to a vertical column of channel indicators and having a horizontal row of bar codes that are encoded to represent and arranged adjacent to a horizontal row of time of day indicators for the start of a television program. The arrangement of channels vertically and time of day horizontally can be reversed. A template overlay of just the vertical and horizontal bar codes can be used with a normal television program arranged in a matrix with a separate listing of day of month bar codes. Alternatively, the day of month bar code can be printed on every page of the television program arranged in a matrix and used with the template overlay of the vertical and horizontal bar codes.
