A television system for receiving a plurality of digitally-encoded television programs includes circuitry for selecting a particular digital data transmission channel from a plurality of digital data transmission channels containing a desired digitally-encoded television program in response to a control signal, at least one of the data transmission channels also including television program shedule data. The system also includes user-operable data entry circuitry for entering data, and a controller for generating the above-noted control signal in response to user-entered data. The controller selects a virtual channel from a plurality of virtual channels in response to user-entered data, each virtual channel being subject to reassignment to a different one of said plurality of digital data transmission channels, the television program schedule data defining the relationship of each of the television programs to respective ones of the plurality of digital data transmission channels.

Système de télévision permettant de recevoir plusieurs programmes de télévision à codage numérique et comportant des circuits permettant de sélectionner parmi plusieurs canaux numériques un canal numérique particulier véhiculant un programme numérique codé choisi et ceci en réponse à un signal de commande, étant précisé qu'au moins l'un des canaux comporte les données de programmation. Le système comporte également un circuit d'introduction de données par l'usager et un contrôleur produisant les signaux de commande susmentionnés en réponse aux données introduites par l'usager. Le contrôleur sélectionne l'un des canaux virtuels en réponse aux données introduites par l'usager, chacun des canaux virtuels étant sujet à une réassignation sur un canal différent choisi parmi les canaux numériques de transmission susmentionnés, la programmation définissant la relation entre chacun des programmes de télévision et celui des canaux numériques de transmission de données qui lui correspond.
