Abstract: The invention relates to provision of a service made available to a user of apparatus which allows the user to select and view and/or listen to television or radio programmes. The “start over” service allows the user to start watching and/or listening to the selected programme from the start of the programme even if the user selection of the particular programme is made once the programme has already started in real time. In one embodiment the service is provided as a service via an IP network. Data for the live provision of the selected programme is stored in memory means once the programme is selected and the data from the memory means is used to generate the programme for watching and/or listening instead of the data from the start over service, once the data for the continued and synchronised provision of the programme is available in the memory means.

Abstract: An EPG data processing device (D), for an electronic equipment (EE), comprises a processing means (PM) arranged i) to access to sets of data defining respectively channel programs and each comprising at least first data representative of a channel name and a channel program name, second data defining a channel program starting time, and third data representative of a channel program ending time, ii) either to determine amongst the accessed data sets which respectively follow each data set contributing to a displayed page of data the one which comprises the earliest ending time, in order to define a time reference just before this earliest ending time and associate this time reference to a following page of data to be displayed, or to determine amongst the accessed data sets which respectively precede each data set contributing to a displayed page of data the one which comprises the latest starting time, in order to define a time reference just after this latest ending time and associate this time reference to

Abstract: This invention relates to an electronic program guide (EPG) for viewing on a display screen comprising a table or grid containing a plurality of cells. Each cell is individually selectable by a user to allow navigation of the table or grid. One or more of the cells contain information relating to one or more programs. At least one of said cells is capable of containing information relating to more than one program.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of recording a program comprised in a television signal. A television signal comprises program information including the real starting hour of at least a following program. The method comprises the steps of: —memorizing a theoretical starting hour of the program to be recorded (30);—defining, among the following programs, a retained program satisfying a criterion of concordance relating to at least the memorized theoretical starting hour of the program to be recorded and the real starting hour of the subsequent program included in the program information comprised in the television signal (32); and—recording the television signal on the basis of the real starting hour of the retained program (34).
