Abstract:
An approach to providing EPG information segments the EPG information into a plurality of segmented EPGs, i.e., subsets of the EPG information. The EPG information for all channels may be segmented into EPGs for separate local channels, i.e., channels received by client devices within a particular geographical region or broadcast area, and a “home” or universal EPG. Alternatively or additionally, the EPG information for all channels may be segmented into EPGs, for example, based on channel content or category.
