Zusammenfassung:	In accordance with aspects of the present principles, a program guide display for a near video on demand system can be provided. The NVOD system can transmit and/or receive a plurality of duplicate, temporally offset video streams on separate channels to enable viewing of video content at practically any time from its beginning. According to one aspect of the present principles, a channel carrying a program having a start time that coincides with a current time can be selected for display in the program guide while suppressing other NVOD channels carrying duplicate content with offset start times.
