Abstract: The object of the invention is a software method of emulation of the EEPROM memory in another non-volatile memory, for example the Flash type memory. This method is applicable in systems, where in order to decrease costs of devices, using a non-volatile EEPROM memory, the existing memory is used, for example the Flash type memory for emulation of the EEPROM memory.

Abstract: A device for receiving an analogue or digital signal is provided with a processor (120) managing operation of the device, a memory, a signal loss management block (121), a block (123) storing information on a recording process in the memory and a television signal recording management block (122) generating data describing the recording process of the analogue or digital signal and cooperating with the signal loss management block (121) and the block (123) storing information on the recording process. The information, received form the signal loss management block (121) and the signal recording management block (122), are stored in a recording description file. A signal playback block (124) fetches the information from the recording description file during signal playback and controls playback of a recorded signal according to the information fetched from the recording description file.

Abstract: The method of access and handling service lists, set up earlier from such services as television and radio channels, DVD libraries, web sites, as well as user services, available in a handling device equipped at least with the functions of a decoder of digital television, while the service lists are general lists, set up by the decoder and preference lists, set up by the user. After selecting the function of moving to the next list, an identifier is fetched from storage (BOK) of the handling device (DK): of the service that has been recently viewed on the list, which is next after the one displayed during selection of this function or the first from the next list, and the handling device (DK) is set to receive this service, with parallel display, on the screen of television set, of information about the assignment of the service to the list and its viewing ratings.

Abstract: A device for selecting a channel of radio and television sets includes a signal receiving block (103) used to receive the signal (102) and if necessary converting it to a digital format, an A/V block (107) generating the signal to be displayed on the screen in a required format, a memory block (106) containing various types of memory, a central processing unit (105) controlling the functionality of the receiver and a power-on block (111) with a “Power-on” function used for switching-on a set. Channels viewed by the user for a time longer than a defined time interval are stored in the database. This database may be in the form of a list containing information about consecutively selected channels. It can also have the form of tables storing information about the viewing ratings of channels viewed at a given time. The statistics obtained from this database are used to set the appropriate channel upon switching-on the set.
