Embodiment 1

[0050] see figure 2 , is the flow chart of the method for ordering programs in the IPTV system in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0051] Step 201, the set-top box obtains a bookmark list, and the bookmark information of the program is recorded in the bookmark list;

[0052]For example, when the user exits the program, the set-top box records the bookmark information of the program, so that when the user needs to order the program, he can directly locate the EPG page where the program is located by selecting the bookmark information, or directly request the program to the media resource server. The media resource corresponding to the program, so as to facilitate the user to continue watching the program. The bookmark information includes the program name and the media resource address of the program. The IPTV system or the user can choose to locate the EPG page where the program is located, or directly request the corresponding...
