Abstract

See full text

A viewer can select one of a plurality of personal channels on a set-top box (10) and receive preferred programming on that channel irrespective of the true channel on which such programs are actually carried. The set-top box stores a look-up table (38) that identifies for each personal channel, the start time and true channel for each preferred program associated with a corresponding personal channel. Upon selection of the personal channel, the look-up table is scrutinized to determine which preferred program should be selected. Upon selection, the preferred program is displayed on the personal channel.
