Abstract

The invention relates to an arrangement for category controlled channel scanning and makes possible showing of a program table and sorting of this according to the category to which respective program belongs. The user can easily scan through in the table, which facilitates for the user to select program in a wanted category. The arrangement includes program suppliers (1) who supply TV-programs and/or information to at least one Cable-TV supplier (2) who in his/her turn supplies Cable-TV to subscribers equipped with respective signal decoder (3) and TV-set (4). According to the invention, the Cable-TV supplier has an Electronic Program Guide (6) which contains information about the TV-programs from the program suppliers. The Cable-TV supplier is arranged to transmit the information from the Electronic Program Guide together with the TV-programs to the subscribers .The signal decoder at respective subscriber is arranged to, at request, arrange the information about the TV-programs according to category, show this information on the TV-set and scan through to a selected program.
