  • Publication number: 20140189747
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to scroll through an electronic program guide at a first and a second scroll speed are provided. While viewing an electronic program guide (EPG) output by a receiving device, a user transmits a first command to the receiving device to start scrolling the time slots in the EPG such that the EPG displays program information for future time slots. The first command causes the time slots to scroll at a first speed. The user can increase the scroll speed by transmitting another command. The time slots in the EPG cease scrolling when there is no more data to display or when the user transmits a stop scrolling command to the receiving device.
