Zusammenfassung:A plurality of programs are broadcast from at least one station. A system for preparing a program viewing schedule includes a program guide extractor for extracting a broadcast program guide. The broadcast program guide includes program characteristic data. The system also includes a frequency data generator for generating frequency data with regard to the program characteristic data, based on a program viewing history and/or a program recording history. A recorded program data extractor of the system extracts recorded program data. The recorded program data includes a time needed to record each program. A broadcast program allocator of the system selects a program from the broadcast program guide, based on the frequency data, and allocates the selected program in the program viewing schedule. A recorded program allocator of the system determines which program has not been viewed among the recorded programs, and allocates the unwatched program into a vacant area in the program viewing schedule.
