Abstract

The invention is about a television set with different memory locations for keeping records of TV channels especially liked by viewers. And that has a numeric keypad for direct access to that channel The receiver will provide the function of selecting a "favorite channel" for the favorite channel, without adding a row of keypads provided in it. According to this invention, the user would press and hold a single digit key for an extended time slot (ideally 3 seconds) and the circuit on this television would translate. This "hold down" command is the command to change the second "N" field where "N" corresponds to the single digit button being pressed. The two-digit number that entered can be acted upon. Can be accomplished normally by loosening the numeric keypad at less than the channel. Extended time (Less than 3 seconds, for example). Press and hold the button to change. The up or down channel will be translated into a command to save the currently changed channel in. Memory of favorite channels in a specific location by the next digit of the keypad pressed. Up and down channel shift functions can usually be done by loosening the press of a button. Flap up Or change the channel into a time less than the extended time (less than 30 seconds, for example). Inverted with a separate memory button may be used for Saving information on favorite channels Pressing the memory button is used as a command to save the channel. Currently in the favorite channel memory position by the keypad, the next digit will be pressed.
