<p>An electronic program guide (EPG) processing device is connectable to a set-top box (STB) (110) configured to receive EPG information (120). The STB (110) includes an auxiliary interface (140) that supports communication between the EPG processing device and the STB (110); a device interface connectable to the auxiliary interface (140); and an EPG subsystem (170) connected to the device interface to receive and process EPG information (120) from the STB (110). In one aspect, a digital video recorder (DVR) (100) is connectable to a STB (110) configured to receive EPG information (120) and broadcast audiovisual data. The STB (110) includes an auxiliary interface (140) that supports communication between the DVR (100) and the STB (110). The DVR includes a recorder interface (150) connectable to the auxiliary interface (140), and includes a storage device (160) and an EPG subsystem (170) to process the EPG (120) to schedule recording the broadcast audiovisual data on the storage device (160).</p> |
