MULTI-WINDOW TELEVISION RECEIVER FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY DISPLAYING TWO VIDEO PROGRAMS AND AN ELECTRONIC PROGRAM GUIDE

摘要

The invention relates in general to a television receiver that is capable of displaying two video programs and an electronic program guide ("EPG") simultaneously. The EPG is displayed in a first portion of a split screen containing a picture-in-picture (PIP) display. Scanning of the electronic program guide causes different video programs to be displayed in the PIP display while the user is still able to watch the original video program on a second split screen.
