Abstract

La invención se refiere a un aparato y a un procedimiento de tratamiento de informaciones contenidas en forma de datos en una guía de programas. Una guía de programas que representa las informaciones contenidas en forma de datos en la guía de programas se visualiza en varios formatos. Por ejemplo, la guía de programas se visualiza en un primer formato en el que la primera dimensión representa datos horarios y la segunda informaciones sobre los canales. Previa petición del usuario, la guía de programas se visualiza en un segundo formato. El segundo formato corresponde a un formato discretamente truncado , bien la primera o bien de la segunda dimensión.
