A system, method and apparatus for surfing channels while preserving content on a preferred channel includes buffering and optionally recording a prime channel using a first tuner while surfing available channels using a second tuner. Upon return to the preferred channel, the programming content of the preferred channel is continued to be viewed in a time-shifted manner. The simultaneous buffering of the prime channel upon changing viewing channels is performed such that the buffering of the prime channel includes a complete record of received content without any loss of programming information.
