Title:
AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999049662
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Upon installation of a broadcast receiver, for example a television receiver, the different tuning frequencies/channel numbers are to be stored in a memory of the broadcast receiver. To facilitate the installation, the network provider transmits a list of nominal tuning frequencies, for example as a teletext page, together with at least one of the broadcast television programs. To further improve installation also the RF frequency of a so called subscription channel is also inserted in the list. As the RF frequency of the settop box may differ from the nominal value in the list, a fine-tuning is proposed to modify the stored tuning frequency/frequencies.
