Definitions
- Satellite is currently the most prolific means of distributing digital television, and it has been quite successful in accomplishing this task due to, among other reasons, ease of use. continually lowering service costs, and large bandwidth. Satellite also allows a user to receive channels that only carry audio. Therefore, a user can choose from several types of music, much like a radio station but without commercials. There have also been attempts to utilize satellite for delivering broadband Internet.
- the television 26 comprises a television guide and/or selection feature that allows a user to select a program for viewing.
- the selection of programs offered to the customer may include both live and stored programs.
- a converter, or decoder box (not shown) may be logically connected to the television 26 for purposes of allowing a user to select a program for viewing. Functionality of the multi-channel viewing system 100 is provided with reference to FIGS. 3-6 hereinbelow.
