Abstract

The invention relates to a computerized television apparatus. The apparatus comprises a computing device for generating a first display signal, a video path having a first input for receiving the first display signal and a second input for receiving a second display signal derived from a television signal to derive a third display signal. The apparatus further comprises a display unit with a given dimension operative for displaying a display image derived from the third display signal. The computing device is a fast boot-up computing device comprising an initial program loader unit. The fast boot-up computing device is operative to process the initial program loader unit to invoke the program elements associated to the respective data elements and to boot-up said computerized television apparatus.
