`
`TECHNICAL FIELD
`The invention relates to television entertainment systems
`for providing television programming to consumer homes.
`More particularly, the invention relates to a set top terminal
`for use with a program delivery system with menu selection
`of programs.
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`Advances in television entertainment have been primarily
`driven by breakthroughs in technology. In 1939, advances
`on Vladimir Zworykin's picture tube provided the stimulus
`for NBC to begin its first regular broadcasts. In 1975.
`advances in satellite technology provided consumers with
`increased programming to homes.
`Many of these technology breakthroughs have produced
`inconvenient systems for consumers. One example is the
`ubiquitous three remote control home, having a separate and
`unique remote control for the TV. cable box and VCR. More
`recently, technology has provided cable users in certain parts
`of the country with 100 channels of programming. This
`increased program capacity is beyond the ability of many
`consumers to use effectively. No method of managing the
`program choices has been provided to consumers.
`Consumers are demanding that future advances in televi
`sion entertainment, particularly programs and program
`choices, be presented to the consumer in a user fr
