This invention discloses a set-top box EPG memory management method. A memory threshold is set based on the remaining system memory capacity after the set-top box starts up. When a program event data is filtered, it is parsed and stored in the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) linked list. The memory occupied by this program event data is calculated and added to the total EPG memory value. For each subsequent filtered program event data, the memory required for storage is calculated. If the memory threshold is exceeded, the EPG data already stored in memory is first cleared, and then the received program event information is stored in the EPG linked list. If the memory threshold is not exceeded, the filtered program event information is directly stored in the EPG linked list. The memory occupied by the new program event is added to the total EPG memory value. This invention ensures maximum EPG reception within the system's available memory range, presenting the user with a more complete electronic program guide.
