Innovative TV Schedule Control System and Recording Method

DESCRIPTION

This patent details a novel system for controlling television receivers that allows users to select broadcasted TV programs from a scheduled program guide. The system includes a VCR function that records selected shows while users are away, utilizing a data processor that decodes signals received from an FM transmitter. The technology comprises a remote control that relays user selections to the data processor, which stores program information and controls a programmable TV tuner for sending the desired program signal to the television at the scheduled time.
