1. A method for providing an extended electronic program guide, comprising the steps of:
- generating at least one recorded material data base of recorded material;
generating a live stream data base or using an existent, pre-generated database, with a known format of live stream data; and
integrating the live stream data base with the at least one recorded material data base to produce an extended electronic program guide.

Abstract
A method and system provides an extended electronic program guide that generates at least one recorded material database of recorded material and that generates a live stream database (or uses a pre-generated live stream database) of live stream data. The live stream database and the recorded material database are integrated to produce an extended electronic program guide. The recorded material can be time shifted data of a predetermined live data stream or can be material derived from a source of digital data.
