Abstract

A receiver is disclosed which is conventionally tuned to a desired channel be entering a user-defined program number (71) or operating a program up/down key (72) on a remote control device (7). The remote control further includes favorite channel keys (75) being positioned in such a way that they can be found by touch. A program number can be dynamically assigned to any one of said favorite channel keys. The user can thus easily 'zap' between the channels he is currently interested in, without having to enter the respective program numbers or even look at the remote control device.
