Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems are provided for viewing multiple television programs within a television program guide. A multiple tuner set-top box executes a client application for generating a program guide for tuning and recording television programs in a television services network. The client application receives a user selection of a program title displayed in the program guide while a program on a first tuner is being displayed within the program guide, tunes to the selected program on a second tuner, generates a window for displaying the selected program on the second tuner within the program guide, and displays the selected program in the window while displaying the program on the first tuner within the program guide. The client application also generates a user interface for receiving commands including switching from audio associated with the first tuner to audio associated with the second tuner and for recording the selected program on the second tuner.
