Abstract

See full text

The present invention enhances a user experience by using multiple tuners to simultaneously tune multiple channels. The multiple tuners channels included in programming content, so that a user is able to rapidly tune the channels without having to wait. Other features include the ability to simultaneously record conflicting programs. Each tuner can tune to a separate channel and either display and/or record that channel. The multiple tuners also allow a snapshot of recent channels to be maintained and updated such that a user can be apprised of the current content of those channels without having to separately tune each channel.
