Abstract

EPG system is very important for Set-Top-Box of digital TV. At first, this article briefly introduces the business information standard of digital TV. Then, the paper mainly discusses the system structure of EPG in digital TV set-top-box. Three main layers of this struture, including Application layer, realization layer and driver layer, are described one by one. Most important is that the design and implementation of EPG management module has been discussed, especially management of program subscription and management of Timer.
