The method includes the steps of: placing at least one finger on the remote control unit for scanning; obtaining fingerprint data indicative of the scanned finger; comparing the fingerprint data to predetermined reference data to establish a fingerprint match; and, if a match is established, providing access to a number of channels associated with the scanned finger.
