Abstract:
An apparatus 100 and method is provided for generating an EPG. The apparatus 100 is configured to output data to generate an EPG in which upcoming programs are shown as tiles with a uniform size, regardless of the duration of the program. A tile representing a program which has already partially been shown is shown as spanning a reference indicator. The apparatus 100 may output data to automatically update the EPG when a new time is selected by a user. The automatic updating of the EPG may involve scrolling the tiles of the EPG past the reference indicator which represents a reference time. The rate of scroll of the tiles may be in inverse proportion to the duration of the program being shown on that program.
