Electronic Program Guide with Integrated Program Listings

摘要

An interactive television program guide system with digital storage provided. The program guide gives users the ability to store information associated with recorded programs in a directory in the digital storage device thereby providing easy access to program information. The program guide may also provide a global media library for indicating the programs stored on removable storage media used with the program guide. The guide may also allow the user to manage and maintain a user media library to do the same. Non-time-sensitive data associated with recorded programs may be stored in an way that allows the user to define "super-programs" for playback of a sequence of stored programs or program segments.
