IMPROVEMENT IN RECEIVER FOR TELEVISION SIGNAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hard disk recorder (HDR) operable to record simultaneously two different television programs received in different channels and operable to replay a currently broadcast program offset in time. SOLUTION: A hard disk recorder (HDR) is arranged to receive signals defining television programs and television program schedule data. The HDR is used for controlling a hard disk so as to record pre-programmed television programs according to schedule. The time offset can be overcome by playing back the part of the program inside the time offset at an increased frame rate. Furthermore, the HDR is arranged to receive transition signals indicating transitions between parts of programs, such as transitions between advertisements and the "actual" programs. The HDR is operable to use these transition signals, for example, to skip between transitions in prerecorded programs replayed from the hard disk. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
