Zusammenfassung:	A receiving device (118) for receiving broadcast programming includes tuners (202i), a video processing system (206) and a presentation device (120) for presenting the program tuned to. An electronic program guide generator ("EPGG") (100) is provided to generate an electronic program guide ("EPG") for presentation to enable a user to select programs. The EPG includes information about scheduled programs. The EPGG is arranged to manage the generation of EPGs based on viewing habits. For example, attributes of programs previously selected for viewing will be stored, and the EPG presented may identify one or more scheduled programs each having at least one attribute that matches an attribute of a program that was previously viewed at a corresponding time of day. The EPG may also provide information about one or more programs that are related to a designated program of interest.
