<p>PURPOSE: To automatically reserve program recording while observing program guide information by receiving a request relating to program guide information from a viewer and displaying the program guide information corresponding to the request to a subscriber's side TV receiver. CONSTITUTION: In a program guide information processing system in a CATV system capable of executing bidirectional communication, a program guide information storing device 12 for storing the program guide information of respective programs broadcasted by respective broadcasting stations is built in a CATV station side system 1. At the time of receiving a request for program guide information from a viewer, the program guide information corresponding to the request is displayed on a TV receiver 21 in a subscriber's system 2. Since each subscriber's system 2 does not require large storage capacity for storing the program guide information, the subscriber's system 2 can be simplified. Since a storage device with large capacity can be used for the CATV station side system 1, large quantity of program guide information can be stored. Thereby each viewer can automatically reserve program recording based upon the program guide information.</p> |
