ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for controlling a television receiver includes a read-only memory for storing a plurality of labels, and a programmable memory for storing at least one channel number. An operator-actuated control generates a signal representative of one of the labels and a channel number to be associated therewith, and a processor receives the signal and causes the programmable memory to store the channel number as corresponding to the one label. The operator-actuated control further generates a second signal representative of the one label independent of the channel number. Upon receiving the second signal, the processor retrieves from the programmable memory the channel number and generates an output control signal corresponding to the channel number.
