     This Amendment No. 2 (the "Amendment") amends the Statement on Schedule 13D
filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "Commission")  on
September 16, 1993 by Sumner M. Redstone and Viacom  International Inc. ("VII"),
a wholly owned subsidiary of Viacom Inc. ("Viacom"), as amended by Amendment No.
1 filed with the Commission on December 5, 1994 by Spelling  Entertainment  Inc.
("Spelling"),  a wholly owned  subsidiary of Spelling  Entertainment  Group Inc.
("Spelling  Group"),  PVI  Transmission  Inc. ("PVI") and Sumner M. Redstone (as
amended,  the "13D  Statement"),  with respect to the shares of common stock, no
par value (the  "Common  Stock"),  of  StarSight  Telecast,  Inc.,  a California
corporation  (the  "Issuer"),  with its principal  executive  offices located at
39650 Liberty Street, Fremont, California 94538.

     Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to
such terms in the 13D Statement (as amended).

Item 2. Identity and Background.
        -----------------------

     Item 2 of the 13D Statement is hereby amended to update a previously stated
stock ownership  percentage as follows and to reflect changes in Schedules I and
II attached hereto:

     (A) As of April 1, 1995,  approximately 77% (including shares issuable upon
the exercise of currently  exercisable  warrants) of the issued and  outstanding
shares of common  stock of  Spelling  Group  were  owned by SEGI  Holding  Corp.
("SEGI"). As previously  disclosed,  all of the issued and outstanding shares of
common  stock of SEGI are  owned by  Blockbuster  Pictures  Holding  Corporation
("Blockbuster   Pictures").   All  of  the  issued  and  outstanding  shares  of
Blockbuster  Pictures are owned by Viacom.  Accordingly,  Viacom is the indirect
owner of  approximately  77%  (including  shares  issuable  upon the exercise of
currently  exercisable  warrants) of the issued and outstanding shares of common
stock of  Spelling  Group and,  therefore,  Viacom may be  considered  to be the
beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock owned by Spelling.

     (B)  Changes in the  business  address  of PVI are set forth in  Schedule I
attached hereto and changes in the directors and executive  officers of Spelling
are set forth in Schedule II attached  hereto.  Schedules I and II set forth the
following information with respect to each such person:

               (i)  name;

               (ii) business address (or residence address where indicated); and

              (iii) present  principal  occupation or employment  and the name,
principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which
such employment is conducted.

     All of the  directors  and  executive  officers  of PVI  and  Spelling  are
citizens of the United States.

     During the last five years,  none of PVI,  Spelling,  Mr.  Redstone nor any
person named in ScheduleI or Schedule II attached  hereto has been (a) convicted


                                       5
<PAGE>

in a criminal proceeding  (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors)
or (b) a party  to a  civil  proceeding  of a  judicial  administrative  body of
competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a
judgment,  decree or final order enjoining future  violations of, or prohibiting
or mandating  activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding
any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
        --------------------------

     Item 4 of the 13D Statement is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     On April 6, 1995, the Issuer accepted the resignation of Ronald  Lightstone
from its board of directors and elected  Thomas E. Dooley to serve as a director
on its board of directors.

     Thomas E. Dooley is an executive officer of Viacom and serves as a director
of the Issuer on behalf of Spelling.

     Edward D. Horowitz,  an executive officer and divisional officer of Viacom,
and John W. Goddard, a divisional  officer of Viacom,  serve as directors of the
Issuer  on  behalf  of PVI.  

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
         ------------------------------------

     Item 5 of the 13D Statement is hereby amended to update a previously stated
stock ownership percentage as follows:

     Through its ownership of approximately  77% (including shares issuable upon
the exercise of currently  exercisable  warrants) of the issued and  outstanding
shares of common stock of Spelling Group,  SEGI may also be considered to be the
beneficial owner of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Spelling.


Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.
        --------------------------------

99.1   Agreement among Spelling Entertainment Inc., PVI Transmission Inc. and
