Abstract

The invention provides a method of processing data to enrich a broadcast schedule (16) of titles, times and channels of scheduled broadcasts of television programmes. The method includes allocating a program identity to each program, identifying programmes that form episodes of series and non-series programmes and allocating an episode identity to each episode in a series. Episodes that are identified as repeats are referenced chronologically in relation to the current premiere episode according to the offset value and are assigned the relevant existing episode identity. The data is then saved in an enriched program schedule (18) that can be transmitted to subscribers (14) to allow them to program PVRs to record the programmes in the schedule (18).
