ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a method of providing programming information to viewers using an interactive television or televideo (IT) system. The programming information includes video display images, and preferably a multi-frame video segment of or relating to the programming on at least one of the selected channels. In a preferred embodiment, the IT system obtains programming images corresponding to programming available on selected channels during a selected programming schedule period. Preferably, at least one of the programming images includes a video segment relating to programming available on one of the selected channels, and the remaining programming images include single frame images relating to the programming available on the remaining ones of the selected channels. The programming images for the selected programming are rendered simultaneously on the video display set of the selected viewer station.
