A method for displaying of near video on demand programs broadcast over a network system to a receiver operable to record at least one channel. The program includes a plurality of segments broadcast over two or more channels during a plurality of time intervals. The method includes displaying a first segment of the program as it is broadcast at a first time interval (88) and recording a second segment of the program at the first time interval if the second segment is not scheduled for broadcast at a second time interval (96). The second segment is displayed if broadcast at the second time interval or the recorded second segment is played at the second time interval if not broadcast. The step of recording and displaying are repeated for remaining segments of the program until the last segment of the program (104) is displayed. A method for scheduling broadcast of near video on demand programs and a system for displaying near video on demand programs are also disclosed.

L'invention concerne un procédé d'affichage de programmes de quasi vidéo à la demande, diffusés via un système de réseau vers un récepteur pouvant enregistrer au moins un canal. Le programme comprend plusieurs segments diffusés sur au moins deux canaux durant plusieurs intervalles de temps. Le procédé de l'invention consiste à afficher un premier segment du programme lorsqu'il est diffusé pendant un premier intervalle de temps (88) et à enregistrer un second segment du programme pendant le premier intervalle si la diffusion du deuxième segment n'est pas programmée pendant un deuxième intervalle de temps (96). Le deuxième segment est affiché s'il est diffusé au cours du deuxième intervalle, sinon le deuxième segment enregistré est restitué pendant ledit deuxième intervalle. L'étape d'enregistrement et d'affichage est répétée pour les segments restants du programme, jusqu'à l'affichage du dernier segment du programme (104).
