Abstract
The invention to which this application relates is a television system which allows a visual or other form of indication to be generated to a user of the system that a programme which they select to watch has previously been viewed by them and is therefore a repeat showing of the programme. This prevents the user from having to try and guess whether they have previously viewed the programme before selecting the programme from, for example, an Electronic programme Guide (EPG). The system includes a database in which information for those programmes which are selected by the user to view is input and in which the information is stored for a period of time period thereafter to allow comparison with data for programmes which are subsequently selected to be viewed by the user.
