Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9015507A1] A signal representative of a television program guide and a signal indicating which program is currently being received are received at the point of reception of a television program signal. The program guide signal is used to cause a program guide to be displayed on a television screen. A viewer selects one or more programs to be recorded or viewed from the displayed guide. While the received program indicating signal indicates that the program currently being received is one of the selected programs, recording or viewing of the program is enabled. A further extension of the invention causes the name of a television program to be recorded on a video recording along with the program so that on replay the recording can readily be identified.
