  • Patent number: 9456186
    Abstract: Various arrangements for presenting an electronic programming guide are detailed. An indication of a first television channel for tuning may be received by a television receiver. The first television channel may be transmitted as part of a first transponder stream. Based on an inadequate downlink signal being received for the first television channel, it may be determined that the first television channel cannot be received and output. A plurality of unavailable television channels may be identified due to the plurality of unavailable television channels being transmitted as part of the first transponder stream. An electronic programming guide may be output to a display device that indicates the plurality of unavailable television channels and the first television channel are each unavailable.

  • Publication number: 20090144773
    Abstract: An approach to providing EPG information segments the EPG information into a plurality of segmented EPGs, i.e., subsets of the EPG information. The EPG information for all channels may be segmented into EPGs for separate local channels, i.e., channels received by client devices within a particular geographical region or broadcast area, and a “home” or universal EPG. Alternatively or additionally, the EPG information for all channels may be segmented into EPGs, for example, based on channel content or category.
