Abstract

The invention relates to the digital television field, and provides a method for prompting associated channel information, a set-top box and a system end in order to solve the problems that programs have no association and user time for channel-by-channel search is waste in the prior art. The method comprises the following steps of: binding the associated channel information in an electronic program guide (EPG) according to the correlation of channels; transmitting the EPG to the set-top box of a user end; when the predetermined trigger condition is met, matching the channel information associated with the current channel in the EPG by the set-top box; and displaying the matched result in a screen by the set-top box. The embodiment of the invention has the advantages of acquiring more prompting information of the associated channels or programs when a user watches a certain channel program and facilitating acquisition of the required information for the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of digital television, in particular to a method for prompting associated channel information, a set-top box and a system end. Background technique [0002] More and more domestic radio and television network companies use digital modulation technology for program transmission, and correspondingly need to add set-top boxes in users' homes to receive corresponding programs. According to the plan of China's Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, China will cancel the broadcast of analog TV signals after 2015, and digital TV equipped with set-top boxes (STB) will become popular. [0003] The inventor of the present invention found that in the prior art, when a user watches a certain program of a certain channel, it is impossible to prompt other programs or channels with similar content. Playing similar entertainment programs, after the user has finished playing the entertainment program on channel 1, he needs to change...
