  • Parsed program guide data
    Publication number: 20040006768
    Abstract: A program guide data system is described that parses program guide data into data sections such that program guide data corresponding to a program is distributed into one or more of the data sections. A program guide data file is generated that includes the data sections and the program guide data file is communicated to client devices. In an implementation, the data sections are similarly formatted to include various element data types that contain the program guide data and/or are indexes to additional data sections that contain the program guide data.
