<p>The invention is of use to all television viewers who would like to watch a TV event in the near future, who fear missing said event due to forgetfulness or distraction when zapping through other programmes. By automatically zapping, the decoder places said TV event in the field of view of the viewer who has to do nothing. The aim of the invention is to provide a new DVB table with a supplementary service to those already on offer. This table is to inform the decoder of the beginning of each TV event on each channel which may be viewed using the same, whilst remaining tuned to one channel, such as to be able to compare the identity thereof with the event selected by the viewer at a previous moment with the goal of watching the same. At the start of a TV event, if the identity thereof is not recognised by the decoder the event is ignored. On the other hand where the event is recognised using the above comparison, the decoder starts the zapping to the channel broadcasting the event in an automatic manner. The viewer thus has no longer to fear missing the TV events he likes to watch, the task being left to the decoder such as a secretary manages the appointments of the boss.</p> |
