<p>A program guide information data structure and processing system facilitates decoding. A decoder acquires ancillary information conveyed in hierarchically ordered data tables comprising packetized program guide data. The ancillary information includes hierarchically associated version identifiers enabling the decoder to identify change in data table content by examination of the version identifiers in hierarchical order. The decoder acquires cell numbers (e.g. identifying cell type, area, broadcast time and complexity level) assigned to individual partitions of the program guide information in order to adapt to dynamically re-partitioned program guide data.</p> |
