发明名称 A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING AND DISPLAYING A BROADCAST SYSTEM PROGRAM GUIDE
摘要 A program guide (702) is generated comprising a number of still video pictures (704-720) that represent current programming on a number of channels. The program guide is generated by the system tuning sequentially to each one of a number of channels. A visually usable video frame is captured from one of the number of channels, and is then decimated. Tuning, capturing, and decimating are then repeated for each of a selected number of channels. Following generation, the program guide is displayed. A system pointer (728) is displayed on the screen along with the program guide, and the system pointer is manipulated in response to input by the user. A channel is selected for viewing by manipulating the system pointer to an area associated with the still video picture of the corresponding channel.
