发明名称 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR BROWSING TELEVISION CHANNEL INFORMATION BY CATEGORY
摘要 A cable television system (100) includes a display (235) for displaying program information, a terminal (120) for controlling the presentation of the program information, a memory (240) for storing operational parameters, and a receiver (220) for receiving user inputs. A method for presenting the program information within the cable television system (100) includes the steps of storing the program information, including channel information and category information indicative of categories and channels associated with the categories, receiving (510) a command indicating that channel information is to be presented, and driving (520) the display (235) to present only program information associated with channels included in a selected category. The display (235) can, for instance, be driven with a browse banner (310) or a program guide that includes channel information about channels included in the selected category and omits channel information about channels not included in the selected category.
