A controller for a television system comprising software for determining from a label memory whether a label, such as a VPS of PDC label, indicative of the real start time of a selected program is to be transmitted. If it is determined that labels are to be transmitted, the controller is primed to receive those labels at a pre-determined time. In response to receipt of the label, a prompt reminding the viewer of the transmission of the selected television program is generated. In the event that it is determined that VPS or PDC or the like is not supported by the channel on which the selected program is to be transmitted, a real time clock is monitored and a short time before the scheduled time for transmission, a prompt reminding the viewer of the television program is generated. |
