4.2 Storing Channel Names
Initially there are no channel names
stored in the Computertop TV-I's
memory. To name a channel, follow
these steps:
• Select the appropriate input
(cable or antenna). Each channel
may have two names: one for
cable, one for antenna.
• Select the appropriate channel
using the Channel Number Key
Pad. If there is an existing name
for this channel it will appear in
the Channel Name Text Edit.
• Select the Channel Name Text
Edit by clicking on it.
• Type a new channel name.
• Click on the Store button.
The new name is now associated
with the selected channel.
4.3 Channel Selection by Name
• Select the appropriate input (cable
or antenna). Remember, each
channel may have two names: one
for cable, one for antenna.
• Select the Channel Name Text Edit
by clicking on it.
• Type the first few letters of the
desired channel's name.
• Click on the Find Channel button.
If no channel names match, the
computer will beep.
4.4 Preferences File
When you quit the application, the
Computertop TV-I application
preserves the channel number,
Cable/Antenna setting, and window
location in a preferences file.*
These settings are restored when the
application starts up.**
*
Note: If the system disk is locked or full,
the settings cannot be saved.
**
Note: The tuner begins generating video
and audio from cable Channel 2 as soon as it
has power. The Computertop TV-I will not
reflect the settings in the preference file until
you start the application by double-clicking
on its icon.
4.5 Keyboard Equivalents
Most buttons on the remote-control
interface have a keyboard
equivalent:
The Enter or Return key is the same
as clicking on the Find Channel
button.
The Tab key toggles the focus
between Channel Name Text Edit
and Channel Number Key Pad.
When the focus is on the Channel
Name Text Edit, a blinking cursor
and the name of the channel (if a
name has been stored) appear. See
Figure 6.
• The arrow keys move the cursor to
the left or right.
