Abstract
Tutorial information is provided on an on-demand basis over a digital two-way multichannel broadband communications network, e.g., cable TV network, which is also used for transmission of entertainment programming content. The tutorial information may relate to the access, control and viewing of the programming content. In an illustrative embodiment of the invention, in response to a request for tutorial information initiated by a user, a graphical user interface (GUI) is provided, which lists tutorial topics for user selection. Upon a selection of a tutorial topic, the related tutorial presentation is transmitted to the user, which may be in the form of a video presentation, slideshow presentation and/or textual displays. The tutorial presentation may be manipulated by the user to perform rewinding, pausing and fast-forwarding thereon.
