  • Patent number: 8269901
    Abstract: A digital broadcast receiver and a one-touch channel setting method are disclosed. In order to set channels, the digital broadcast receiver tunes a tuner corresponding to an applied channel setting value chosen from available channel setting values that are made from combinations of channel setting value factors by referencing a transponder list corresponding to the applied channel setting value, and sets an antenna and a tuner to correspond with the applied channel setting value in accordance with the tuning result. Thus, the antenna and tuner may be set automatically for searching channels.

  • Patent number: 8228442
    Abstract: A digital broadcasting receiver having multiple tuners and a method of selecting a tuner in the digital broadcasting receiver. An embodiment of the present invention attempts to tune each tuner with transponder data of a satellite being connected to a digital broadcasting receiver having multiple tuners and selects one tuner to search channels according to the result of tuning. The transponder input procedure and the following tuner selection procedure can be omitted such that the tuner selection procedure can be simplified.

  • Patent number: 8032074
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a connection state setting method of a dual tuner and an apparatus. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the method of setting a tuner connection state of n satellites in a digital broadcast receiver having the plurality of tuners, n being a natural number, that are connected to one or more antennas includes setting the tuner connection state for each satellite by using a satellite signal inputted from each satellite, which has information on one antenna, and setting the tuner connection state between the satellites by using a connection state set for each satellite and the satellite signal inputted from each satellite. Accordingly, with the present invention, the digital broadcast receiver having two tuners can automatically set the connection state of satellite lines of each tuner.
