ABSTRACT:
A system is provided that resources media content of multiple display channels. The system includes a memory with logic, tuning resources to receive media content of a plurality of display channels, buffering resources for buffering the media content, display resources for displaying the media content from at least one of the display channels, and a processor configured with the logic to determine when the resources are unavailable to receive media content of a newly requested display channel. The processor is further configured with the logic to, responsive to a determination of insufficient resources, determine the lowest priority display channel using at least one user configurable rule, wherein the processor is further configured with the logic to effect discontinuing the receipt of media content of a display channel designated as having the lowest priority among a plurality of received display channels.
