A multimedia broadcast system provides program schedule information
simulcast as a Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) data stream including
commands and displayable, selectable indicia associated with the
commands, along with programs for display. A set top box is adapted to
separate the HTML data stream and to store that data in a cache as WEB
pages retrievable by a WEB browser in the set top box, whereupon the
program schedule information is displayed including the displayable,
selectable indicia. Selecting the indicia directs the set top box via the
associated command to tune to a program associated with the displayable
indicia. The indicia may be any text, icon, dynamic figurine, and the
like. In a preferred embodiment program schedule WEB pages, including the
commands and displayable indicia, are stored especially marked on a WEB
server coupled to the Internet and to a scanner adapted to scan the WEB
server for marked pages, and to upload the marked pages to a satellite
broadcast system.
