A television receiver receives a television signal that includes electronic program guide (EPG) information and the television receiver has an EPG decoder and display for displaying the EPG information. A video tape recorder or satellite broadcast receiver is connected to the television receiver over a special bus and when the EPG information is displayed on the television receiver either the identity of the VTR or the EPG information decoded by an EPG decoder in the satellite receiver is displayed along with the EPG information decoded by the EPG decoder in the television receiver. The viewer then can select a program from among the television receiver EPG stations or select the VTR or can select a program from among the satellite broadcast receiver EPG stations.
