The present document specifies the data formats for data broadcasting applications in general, and, specifically, for the
Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) or TV Guide, also known by some other commercial slogans. The data required for
these applications is transmitted by means of a data broadcasting protocol using the Vertical Blanking Interval (VBI)
lines of a TV signal. It is also intended to coexist with other data-broadcasting applications running on affordable
TV-sets, VCRs, or multi-media PCs. The EPG enables a receiver/decoder to store a programme database (and, if
available, a navigation database), which can help the viewer to find the programmes of his preference.
