Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de surfer sur des canaux tout en utilisant un guide (1301) de programme électronique. Un système de diffusion multicanaux est syntonisé sur un premier canal pour produire un affichage d'une diffusion d'un premier programme sur un écran. Un guide (1301) de programme électronique est affiché, et l'identifie d'une pluralité de canaux et une programmation sur les canaux. Un premier paquet (1302) d'informations d'affichage contenant une description du premier programme est affiché avec le guide de programme électronique. Un pointeur système est manipulé en réponse à une entrée effectuée par l'utilisateur sur une zone du guide de programme électronique associée à un second programme. L'affichage du premier paquet (1302) d'informations d'affichage est ensuite remplacé par un affichage d'un second paquet d'informations d'affichage contenant une description du second programme. L'invention concerne également un procédé fournissant une indication d'état d'un syntoniseur et d'un pointeur dans un système de diffusion multicanaux.
