Abstract

L'invention porte sur un système et un procédé de présentation d'une grille de programmes selon un choix par défaut de programmation de canaux, en adaptant les présentations par défaut aux préférences de l'utilisateur. La série d'émissions par défaut est transmise à l'appareil de télévision en deux paquets: un paquet établissant les priorités, et un paquet étendu de priorités d'affichage. Le paquet établissant les priorités comporte la liste par défaut des canaux devant figurer dans la grille, tandis que le paquet étendu de priorités d'affichage comporte une liste des groupes de canaux indiquant l'ordre de présentation des canaux auxquels la télévision peut accéder. Les canaux par défaut sont également accompagnés d'une description détaillée des programmes. Un écran de sélection de programmes permet à l'utilisateur de modifier la présentation par défaut du guide en ajoutant ou retranchant des programmes, de changer l'ordre des programmes, ou de modifier les canaux qui sont l'objet d'une description détaillée des programmes.
