Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An apparatus, method and data structure for generating at least one table in a broadcast environment, are provided. The apparatus includes a generator to generate an event information table (EIT) and an extended text table (ETT). The ETT has program guide information for an n-hour span and has a transmission interval. The ETT has a transmission interval and program description information according to the EIT. The transmission interval of the EIT is shorter than the transmission interval of the ETT.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A method to set repetition intervals for tables to be transmitted as part of a digital television (DTV) transport stream, the method comprising: setting repetition intervals for a sequence of event information tables EIT 0 , EIT 1 , EIT 2 , and EIT 3 containing program information covering different time spans, wherein the repetition interval of the EIT 0 is less than the repetition interval of the EIT 1 ; setting repetition intervals for a sequence of exte…
