Abstract: A user views television programming while also receiving information related to specific occurrences during live events shortly after they occur. Some of these live events are associated with concurrently available television programming, such as a sporting contest that is associated with live a television program televising the contest. Example of such systems allow users to track progress of live events in which they are interested while viewing television programs that are not necessarily related to those events, and allow the users to directly access more detailed information about the events or television programs related to those events using an interactive interface on the users' television screens.
