ABSTRACT:
A program reminder system is provided to remind a user of an interactive viewing system when a preselected program is available. The interactive viewing system includes at least one program guide that allows user selection of a program for which a reminder is to be set. When a reminder has been set, the system displays a reminder panel shortly before the selected program becomes available. The reminder panel identifies the selected program, informs the user that it will shortly be available, and allows the user to turn to the appropriate channel for viewing the selected program.
