Abstract

See full text

A multimedia receiver includes two tuners capable of independently tuning digital channels to be listened to, or viewed. A channel to be tuned by a multi-media receiver is predicted, based on a subset of digits input by a user. While a current channel is tuned by one tuner, the predicted channel is tuned by the other tuner. If the prediction is correct, the channel to be turned is available for presentation immediately after a time out period. In this way, delay between tuning channels is reduced.
