1. A method for displaying an Electronic Programming Guide (EPG) performed by computer instruction storage on a memory and
executed by a computer, the method comprising:
generating a three dimensional virtual mesh polyhedron wherein the virtual mesh polyhedron is displayed at an angle other
than normal view;
generating a plurality of planes positioned in said polyhedron, said planes being approximately parallel, said polyhedron
having a first object on a first plane and a second object on a second plane,
wherein said plurality of planes are both internal and external plane surfaces which are used to display information; and
providing a supplementary information area.
