Abstract

A television viewer uses a PIP format for display of program related information (46) such as television program listings from a program schedule data base (22) in the background and moving, real time or stored video clip images of a program selected from the displayed listings in the PIP window (42). All the text of the background information lies outside the pip window. In one embodiment, as the viewer selects a particular program from the display of current television program listings by means of a cursor (48) or a code number, the corresponding program automatically appears in the PIP window.
