Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9948287A1] An Electronic Program Guide System is capable of displaying an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) that includes a graphical representation of current time in relation to a program time period area to allow a viewer to intuitively assess the current time relative to a particular program which will allow the viewer to also assess time remaining for that program. The graphical representation of current time may be embodied in color change or shading of the program time period area relative to a background, background color change of a graphical time line adjacent to the program time period area, and/or hash/tick marks. Such graphical representation of current time within the program areas and for the program channel program listings is also in relation to an incremental time line that shows the time span of the program listings currently being displayed.
