| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a tuning scheme for coordinating schedule information and programs received from multiple sources ( 26, 28, 30 and 34 ). In the preferred embodiment, an identifier associated with the program's channel ( 52 ) is used to identify a source device ( 26, 28, 30 or 34 ). When a user selects a program ( 60 or 62 ) listed in displayed schedule information ( 50 ), the system ( 10 ) reads the source identifier attached to the program's channel ( 52 ). The system ( 10 ) then carries out an automatic switching/tuning such that the required source device ( 26, 28, 30 or 34 ) is input to the destination device ( 22 ), and a tuner is then tuned to the selected program's channel ( 52 ).
