The timeline format uses buttons to represent a program, each button is scaled to the length of a
program and displayed in relation to a timescale that is usually shown as a title.
Programs that end at the same time as the end of a displayed timeline's range are indicated by
Displaying the end of that program a few pixels before the right edge of the timeline. Whereas programs
That end some time after the range displayed by the timeline, are indicated by displaying the end of
the program at the very right hand edge of a timeline.
A full screen dialog with schedule timeline presents the user with two lists and an information panel.
The rightmost list displays all available services. The leftmost list displays schedule information for
each service shown in the rightmost list. The schedule information is shown as timeline, each program
is represented as a button that is scaled to indicate the program length related to the time shown on
the title bar. The user may navigate around the rightmost list to highlight an individual program.
Program information for the highlighted program on the schedule is displayed in the information panel.
The user may change the start time of the schedule information displayed for a channel by either 30
minutes or an entire day. In addition, the user may also change the total time shown by a schedule
in 30 minute steps between 30 minutes and 3 hours, the default total time is 90 minutes. The feature
to change the total time shown on a schedule is called zoom.
In the case when there is no schedule information available for a service, a blank timeline will be
shown, and the label "No Information Available" will be displayed when the service is selected.
Please note that in this dialog a service must be deselected to enable
to scan each
