Improved television guidance system

摘要

The invention relates to the generation of an Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) from data transmitted to a receiver location. The EPG is generated from the data for display on a screen. The receiver of the data for the programmes to be displayed and to which the EPG relates is capable of interrupting the display of the programmes and saving the data in a memory for subsequent display at a later time. The present invention ensures that the EPG data is adjusted in accordance with the data held in the memory so as to continue to be synchronised with the programmes which can be displayed.
