Abstract

See full text

Device and method for transmitting tuning data (transmission frequency, channel number) of broadcasting transmitters to receivers for user-friendly installation of the receivers. To this end, the device transmits tuning data packets. Each tuning data packet includes the tuning data of the transmitters which are receivable in a given area. Moreover, a reference packet (FIG. 3) is transmitted, in which the corresponding tuning data packet (32) is fixed for each area (34). In order to automate the installation without user interaction, the reference packet for each area incorporates the tuning data (31) of a transmitter which can be received only in that area using the tuning data. Where necessary, the tuning data is supplemented with a recognition label (33).
