12. A presentation method of an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) user interface, comprising:
displaying, by a display apparatus, a program image on a display of the display apparatus;
in response to a first input command from a user, displaying, by the display apparatus, the EPG user interface on the display, wherein the EPG user interface comprises a first presentation page, and the first presentation page comprises a first set of channels and programs corresponding to the first set of channels in a first time period,
wherein a pre-stored channel list is divided into multiple sets of channels, each set of channels having a serial numbers and each set of channels corresponding to one presentation page, and a serial number of the first set of channels is determined, among the multiple sets of channels, as a sum of a first value plus 1, according to following formula:

OG Complex Work Unit Math
wherein the first value is obtained by a “floor” function for rounding down a ratio of an “index” of a channel corresponding to the program image displayed on the display, and a “pageSize” indicating a preset quantity of channels for one presentation page on an EPG user interface; and
in response to a second input command associated with a first shortcut key on a remote controller, switching, by the display apparatus, the EPG user interface from the first presentation page to a second presentation page, wherein the second presentation page comprises the first set of channels and programs corresponding to the first set of channels in a second time period different from the first time period, wherein a difference between the first time period and the second time period is a preset time unit, and the first shortcut key is configured for the EPG user interface and visually indicated on the EPG user interface.
