Abstract

See full text

An automatic homing system for a subscription television signal decoder comprises a tuning system responsive to a decoder off-command signal for operation in a search mode wherein successive television channels are sequentially tuned until a subscription television signal is detected. As a result, the memory circuits of the decoder may be refreshed with updated subscriber authorization data in response to a transmitted subscription television signal even though the decoder is turned off.
