Abstract
An electronic program table processing apparatus can obtain the number of receivable channels M and the standard number of channels N displayable on one screen. When EPG display data is generated, the apparatus examines whether or not the number M is smaller than the number N. If so, the apparatus generates the EPG to display the program information for M channels on one screen. If not, the apparatus generates the EPG to display the program information for N channels on one screen.
