Abstract

A method of providing electronic programme guide data for generating an electronic programme guide on consumer premises equipment (3), the electronic programme guide enabling selection of programmes that correspond to respective sections of a signal for transmission to the consumer premises equipment (3), includes providing data sets associated with respective ones of a sequence of programmes. A data set associated with a programme includes data enabling the consumer premises equipment (3) to locate within the signal, upon transmission to the consumer premises equipment(3), a section corresponding to the programme. The method includes including in the electronic programme guide data, at least one set of data for locating within the signal only a part of the programme. A set of data for locating only a part of the programme specifies a location of at least a component of a section of the signal corresponding to the part relative to a section of the signal corresponding to the programme.
