Abstract

Apparatus and methods for providing an electronic program guide (EPG) to end users are provided. The apparatus includes an audio video streaming device, a content scheduler and a program guide generator. The method includes providing (203) a program guide containing a display start time and an end time for a first program, providing (206) the first program for display at the start time, determining (208) the Whether the first program has been paused during display, and if the program has been paused, adjusting (218) the display end time of the first program, and providing (220) an updated program guide (220) including the adjusted end time.

Description

[0001] References to relevant provisional applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of 35 U.S.C. §119 of Provisional Application No. 61 / 308,577, filed in the United States on February 26, 2010. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to digital content systems and methods for delivering content to end users, and more particularly, to systems and methods for providing electronic program guides (EPGs) to end users. Background technique [0004] With the advent of cable television, direct satellite systems, and other television broadcast systems, viewers have a wide variety of programs to choose from. Sophisticated systems have been developed to help viewers select programs for viewing or recording, including EPGs. The EPG is displayed as an interface on the display screen. Essentially, an EPG is the interactive on-screen equivalent of a listing found in a local newspaper or other print medium. The EPG interface can provide several ...
