Digital TV carries so many channels that viewers can often be spoilt for
choice. Even on-screen electronic programme guides can only provide title lists

repeatedly injects short sequences of low-definition video into the programme
signal at intervals throughout the day. This will allow viewers to watch a
trailer in a small window on the TV screen.
