SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEARCHING FOR AND AUTOMATICALLY RECORDING BROADCAST PROGRAMMES

摘要

A system comprises a recordable medium (50) and a recording apparatus for recording programs on the recordable medium (50). The recordable medium (50) comprises a recorded search instruction (51). The recording apparatus comprises a receiver (10) which is able to receive receivable programs (IS), and a comparator (30) which compares the recorded search instruction (51) with program information (IRP) on the receivable programs (IS) to record a particular one of the receivable programs (IS) on the recordable medium (50) only if the particular one of the receivable programs (IS) matches the recorded search instruction (51).
