Abstract
A display for use with a television receiver includes bookmarks to help viewers sort through a large number of channels. The display has a channel matrix including rows and columns of channel numbers. Bookmark status is displayed on the channel matrix. The channel matrix also is used to tune the television receiver to perform other functions such as channel locking and favorite channel selection, and to display channel status such as minor channels and V-chip ratings. A viewer may select a channel and either remove its bookmark or add a bookmark. Channels displayed in the channel matrix are highlighted to indicated bookmark status. Highlighting may include visual cues such as highlighting, underlining, and displaying of icons; and audio cues. Via a remote control, viewers may view the next or previous bookmarked channel. Viewers may also view a display indicating all bookmarked channels.
