ABSTRACT:
While programming or editing an entry in an electronic program guide (EPG), the invention expands the dimensions of an EPG display field within the entry, enlarges the font size of the text in the display field, and displays more complete information than that displayed in a normal EPG display mode. EPG entries may include VCR timers, reminders, time blocks, channel preferences, viewing restrictions, and set-top box settings. Display fields may include channels, dates, and start and stop times.
