DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention concerns a method for the setting-up of an electronic program journal for television and/or sound radio programs in an apparatus for the reception of television arid/or sound radio signals from different transmitting institutions or program carriers for the performance of the method.
Radio journals, from which the individual programs or transmission contributions, which are receivable at the respective location of reception, are evident and namely for the television radio as well as also for the sound radio in script form have been known for a long time. Beyond that, it is known since introduction of the video text system that those transmission institutions, which emit video text pages with their programs also emit program survey pages about programs of the day or programs of the following day up to program information over a longer time span, which can be received, stored and indicated selectively by the receiver which comprises a video text receiver. Different transmission institutions beyond that also send out program surveys of other transmission institutions. Thereby, it is possible for the user always to obtain an updated program indication of the respectively selected transmitter or, in the case that the transmitter also transmits program indications of other transmitters, these likewise indicated on the display of his reception apparatus. Serving as reception apparatus is as a rule a television reception apparatus or a video recorder which is connected to a television reception apparatus so that the large area picture screen of the television reception apparatus can be used for the representation of the program tables. This applies in the case that the video text recorder is incorporated in the television reception apparatus, and equally well for a construction, in which although a video-recording apparatus is present, the indication however takes place by way of the picture screen of the television receiver connected by way of a bus. The video text system, now called television text, is described in the trade journal "Rundfunktechnische Mitteilungen", 1983, pages 116 to 134. Besides that, it is known to undertake a program of the video recorder in dependence on the program surveys transmitted with the video text pages or video text tables in such a manner that the respective program is selected from the program survey table, which for example contains 25 line entries and program data, in order thereby to control the video recorder. The selected program data are filed in a storage device of the video recorder and monitored by the processor of the video recorder so that a time-dependent drive control of the video recorder takes place at the switch-on times and switch-off times associated in the program data (VPV data described in "Rundfunktechnische Mitteilungen", 1986, pages 223 to 229). This method just as also other setting methods, in which the switch-on times and switch-off times are enterable individually, is also possible when beside the video text program data also VPS data, thus data for the program-dependent control, are co-transmitted by the transmitter. When it is entered during the programming that VPS data are concerned or these are already pointed out in the program survey in the video text page, the control of the switched-on video recorder takes place in dependence on the program data which are transmitted in dependence on program so that, independently of the actual switch-on time also in the case of time displacements of the program beginning, a recording of the program takes place at the real time of the radiation of the program and the switching-off likewise takes place under the control of the VPS signal. The method is described in the trade journal "Rundfunktechnische Mitteilungen", 1985, pages 161 to 169.
It is evident that for the preliminary programming, for example for the recording by the video recorder, the user must check over the video text pages of the individual transmitters, which co-transmit these, i.e. he must for a programming switch over to differ
