Abstract

See full text

A set-top box (STB) suitable for use with a multimedia distribution network is also provided with a broadband network connection to a server operated by the multimedia provider. The server contains electronic programming guide (EPG) information, and provides a highly-functional search interface accessible by the STB. Under normal conditions, when a user attempts to search EPG data, the STB will access the search interface and provide results to the user. The STB also has the ability to detect the status of the broadband network connection. If the broadband network connection is in a disconnected state, the STB will provide a reduced-functionality localized EPG search.
