CA 2745322

When a viewer initiates channel surfing, a surfing guide is presented to the viewer. The surfing guide provides multiple channel regions, where each channel region is associated with a different channel that is available to the viewer. Each channel region will include a channel window in which an image or video content from the corresponding channel is displayed. When the surfing guide is being displayed to the viewer, the channel window in at least one of the channel regions will include video content, which is derived from a low bandwidth video stream for the associated channel. Each channel region may also have a channel information area in which textual information about the corresponding channel is provided to the viewer.

Chaque région de canal comprendra une fenêtre de canal dans laquelle une image ou un contenu vidéo provenant du canal correspondant est affichée. Lors de la présentation du guide de navigation au spectateur, la fenêtre de canal dans au moins une des régions de canal comprend un contenu vidéo, qui est obtenu à partir d'un flux vidéo à faible bande passante pour le canal associé. Chaque région de canal peut également comprendre une zone d'informations de canal dans laquelle des informations textuelles concernant le canal correspondant sont fournies au spectateur.
