Abstract

A television receiver has a surfing feature that provides one or more of a plurality of surfing groups for enabling tuning, with up/dn keys, only among designated surf channels in the selected one of the surfing groups. Certain ones of the receivable television signals are designated as memory channels and enable conventional sequential tuning with up/dn keys when the surfing feature is disabled. A surf key on a remote control transmitter or an on-screen cursor controls activation and deactivation of the surfing feature and selection of the surfing groups. An EAROM has bits that may be set to store memory channels, surfing groups and surf channels within the surfing groups.
