Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a program selection system for enabling a viewer to examine a list of available video programs. SOLUTION: A telecasting service is provided that offers video programs 1-5 upon viewer demand, and which includes an interactive interface for facilitating viewer selection of video programs. The interactive interface allows the viewer to scan through a list of video programs available on the demand telecasting service. The interactive interface also provides the viewer with still images, full-motion previews, and textual descriptions of the available programs. The demand telecasting service distinguishes subscribers from non-subscribers, and provides an interactive facility for allowing non-subscribers to subscribe to the system.
