摘要: Various embodiments provide accurate EPG lineup construction and PVR scheduling for users, regardless of their geographic location. In accordance with the described embodiments, the guide retrieves and aggregates data from multiple available sources, particularly in-band scanning and EPG metadata download. Services are then identified and sorted into logically equivalent groups. Once the services are grouped, in accordance with one embodiment, an analysis is conducted the outcome of which is directed to selecting which services to use for tuning and which services to use for scheduling on a given channel/preset. In addition, various embodiments can, in an automated fashion, assign services to presets/channels, as well as provide a user interface and methods for editing a lineup, modifying tuning information and personalizing presets/channels.

摘要: A multi-receiving device receives broadcast transmission signals based on different transmission standards. A determination is made as to a particular transmission standard that is used by a received broadcast transmission signal, and the receiving device is configured as to the particular transmission standard in order to parse or process metadata included in the received broadcast transmission signal.

摘要: A multi-standard receiving device processes broadcast transmission signals that use multiple differing transmission standards. Processing entails conversion of the transmission standard's protocol standard into a normalized transport agnostic representation in order to allow consistent manipulation of a broadcast transmission signal's contents regardless of the transmission standard.

摘要: Techniques are disclosed herein for merging EPG data associated with a variety of program sources. In one aspect, EPG data is accessed for different program sources and rules are selected that define how entries in the EPG data are to be merged. The rules may be selected based on whether the EPG data was collected in-band or out-of-band. In addition, the merging rules can be dependent on the program source, which allows the flexibility of applying different rules to different program sources. The EPG data from the different program sources is merged into a single EPG based on the selected rules.
