A program guide information interface device for a broadcast satellite receiver has a demultiplexor 204 for demultiplexing an input transport stream having an event information table in which program guide data is contained. The program guide data is stored in memory 208 in a plurality of storage areas S1, S2, S3. S4, with each of the storage areas storing program guide data of a predetermined time interval. A database processor 210 writes and stores the program guide data into memory 208 and updates the program guide data stored in a respective storage area when new program guide data of the predetermined time interval is received. A program guide processor 214 reads and outputs the program guide data which is stored in the memory in response to a program guide request signal from a user. Thus, the program guide processor 214 is able to respond immediately to user program guide requests. |
