ABSTRACT:
A channel selection method stores broadcast channel numbers for which broadcast signals are input and displays the stored broadcast channel numbers on a screen, thereby facilitating broadcast channel selection. The method comprises the steps of storing the number of a corresponding channel by sequentially scanning broadcast signal channels, displaying the numbers of all the channels scanned in the storage step so as to be able to distinguish the stored channel numbers from unstored channels numbers, and selecting a channel using only a channel number stored in the storage step from among the displayed channel numbers. Accordingly, the broadcast channels can be identified with ease, permitting a desired channel to be easily selected.
