Video enabled multidirectional movement through content

摘要

A program guide generation system to generate a program guide for rendering by a rendering device, the system comprising a plurality of operationally connected modules including: a receive module to receive a list including a plurality of program items; and a video sequence preparation module to prepare a video sequence. The video sequence includes a plurality of video frames, each of the video frames including at least one of the program items. The rendering device when playing the video sequence in a forward direction generates the video output showing scrolling of the program items in a first direction; and when playing the video sequence in a reverse direction generates the video output showing scrolling of the program items in a second direction.
