Problems solved by technology

For example, the TV series "Struggle" was broadcast at 20:00 yesterday, but tonight at 20:00 it is necessary to temporarily insert a one-hour passionate Olympic cultural program, and the TV series can only be postponed, so this kind of reservation is meaningless

Although storage sharing can be realized, it cannot be operated independently by each family, and it needs the help of the Internet. If the TV station introduces these devices, the cost of using them will be high

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system for reserving a television program. The method comprises the following steps: S1, receiving key words; S2, extracting and receiving an electronic programguide from digital television signals or digital broadcast signals, searching a corresponding program in the electronic program guide according to the key words, and storing the searched correspondingprogram in a subscribed list; and S3, reminding the program according to the stored subscribed list.
