Abstract

The invention provides a combined TV reception and computer system, comprising at least one user device (UD), adapted a broadcasting signal (DVB-T) transmitted in a digital television broadcasting network, the broadcasting signal (DVB-T) comprising an electronic program guide (EPG), containing TV program information. The invention provides a method for providing information about TV-programs comprising the steps of retrieving search terms from script tags of, or from text in a homepage (HTML), retrieved through a computer network, e.g. the internet or an intranet, searching the electronic program guide (EPG), using the retrieved search terms, and generating and displaying a result set of search results of TV programs.
