ABSTRACT:
An intuitively operated Electronic Program Guide (EPG) which presents program guide information in table form at two levels of resolution. Schedule information is presented in icon form over a long time window while textual information is presented for a viewer-selected time slot. The selected time slot may appear to be a magnified representation of the long time window view. In this way, a television screen of conventional resolution may present at least five hours of schedule information for eight channels. The viewer may operate the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) intuitively with simple remote control commands.
