    Abstract: A system is provided that allows a user to select a pay program for purchase from a program guide. The program guide determines whether the selected program is part of a package of pay programs. If the selected program is part of a package, information regarding the package is provided to the user so that the user may decide whether to purchase the package. If the selected program is part of several packages, information for all packages is provided. The system automatically sets reminders for packages containing repetitive programming. The system monitors whether the user has watched any of the programs in such packages. When the user watches a program from the package, the remaining reminders are cancelled. If a user does not watch any programs in a package of any type, purchase of the package is cancelled and the user is provided with the opportunity to reschedule.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种系统，其允许用户从节目指南中选择要购买的付费节目。 节目指南确定所选节目是否是一系列付费节目的一部分。 如果所选择的节目是包的一部分，则向用户提供关于包的信息，以便用户可以决定是否购买包。 如果所选程序是几个软件包的一部分，则提供所有软件包的信息。 系统自动设置包含重复编程的包的提醒。 系统监视用户是否已经看过这些包中的任何程序。 当用户从包中观看节目时，其余的提醒将被取消。 如果用户没有看到任何类型的软件包中的任何程序，则取消软件包的购买，并向用户提供重新安排的机会。

    Abstract: A program guide system is provided in which an interactive television program guide that is implemented at least partially on user television equipment receives program listings data and real-time data such as sports scores, news data, and the like. The real-time data may be stored in a database maintained by the program guide, so that the program guide may access the stored real-time data at a later time. Updated program listings information may be provided to the program guide as part of the data stream in which the real-time data is provided. Unique keys may be generated for the program listings data and real-time data associated with each live event. The keys may be compared at the program guide to determine which program listings correspond to which items of real-time data. A controllable ticker may be displayed on top of a television program on the user television equipment. The controllable ticker may be sponsored. Different types of real-time data may be assigned different expiration times. When data has expired it may be removed from the database.

    Abstract: A system is provided in which an interactive television program guide is implemented on user television equipment such as a set-top box. The program guide provides an operator showcase in the form of one or more operator showcase television listings screens, each of which contains a set of television listings information. The sets of television listings information are generated by querying a database of television listings data in a database in the set-top box. Each database query is based on content criteria previously selected by the cable system operator or other service provider. The service provider is also able to define the format with which the television listings information is displayed in the television listings screens. A title and logos may also be selected by the service provider for each screen. The operator showcase television listings screens may therefore by customized and branded by the service provider. The user may access multiple operator showcase television listings screens using a centralized operator showcase menu.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种系统，其中在诸如机顶盒的用户电视设备上实现交互式电视节目指南。 节目指南以一个或多个运营商展示电视列表屏幕的形式提供运营商展示，每个屏幕包含一组电视列表信息。 通过在机顶盒的数据库中查询电视列表数据的数据库来生成电视列表信息。 每个数据库查询基于先前由有线系统运营商或其他服务提供商选择的内容标准。 服务提供商还能够定义在电视列表屏幕中显示电视列表信息的格式。 服务提供商也可以为每个屏幕选择一个标题和标志。 因此，运营商展示电视列表屏幕可以由服务提供商定制和品牌化。 用户可以使用集中操作员展示菜单访问多个操作员展示电视列表屏幕。
