    • A subscriber interface unit for use in conjunction with a television and a remote cable network headend having a plurality of available programs. The available programs include broadcast television channels and executable applications. The executable applications are intended to be received and executed at the subscriber interface unit. The subscriber interface unit maintains a virtual channel table having entries for a plurality of virtual channel numbers. An entry for a particular virtual channel number includes a designation of an available program from the headend which is to be associated with the virtual channel number. The program can be a broadcast channel or an executable application such as an electronic programming guide. The subscriber interface unit has a channel selector which maintains a current virtual channel number and which is responsive to commands by a human viewer to change the current virtual channel number. When a virtual channel is selected, the subscriber interface unit requests associated program from the remote headend and presents it on the video display device. If the selected virtual channel is associated with an executable application, the subscriber interface unit downloads and executes the application.
    • 用于与电视机结合使用的用户接口单元和具有多个可用程序的远程有线网络头端。 可用的节目包括广播电视频道和可执行应用程序。 可执行应用程序旨在在用户接口单元处被接收和执行。 订户接口单元维护具有用于多个虚拟信道号的条目的虚拟信道表。 用于特定虚拟频道号的条目包括来自头端的可用节目的指定,其将与虚拟频道号相关联。 该程序可以是广播频道或诸如电子节目指南的可执行应用程序。 订户接口单元具有信道选择器,其保持当前虚拟信道号,并且响应于人类观察者的命令来改变当前的虚拟信道号。 当选择虚拟频道时,订户接口单元从远程头端请求相关联的节目并将其呈现在视频显示设备上。 如果所选择的虚拟频道与可执行应用程序相关联,则用户接口单元下载并执行应用程序。
