Abstract

This paper describes one implementation of information management for the Electronic Program Guide (hereinafter EPG) for Android-based DTV receivers. EPG data is gathered from EIT (Event Information Table) tables that are located in the DTV (Digital Television) transport stream. Propagation of such data to the Android application and display of that data in Graphical User Interface (GUI) is presented in this paper. For the collection and processing of DTV data, a special layer in DTV software stack was used - the DTV software for television sets (DTV Middleware).
