Zusammenfassung:	A TELEVISION APPARATUS ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPLES OF THE INVENTION SUPPORTS TWO OR MORE DISPLAY WINDOWS BUT ACCEPTS CHANNEL CHANGING CONTROL SIGNALS FOR CHANGING CHANNELS IN ALL WINDOWS ONLY FROM ONE SET OF KEYS FROM A REMOTE CONTROL. THE TELEVISION APPARATUS INCLUDES AT LEAST TWO TUNERS WITH RESPECTIVE WINDOWS AND A PROCESSOR FOR RECEIVING CONTROL SIGNALS FOR INSTRUCTING THE TWO TUNERS TO CHANGE CHANNELS. WHEN THE PROCESSOR RECEIVES A FIRST CONTROL SIGNAL, THE PROCESSOR DISPLAYS AND SELECTS A FIRST WINDOW FOR FUTURE CHANNEL CHANGING. IF THE FIRST WINDOW HAS BEEN DISPLAYED WHEN THE FIRST CONTROL SIGNAL IS RECEIVED, THE PROCESSOR SELECTS A WINDOW NO CURRENTLY SELECTED FOR CHANNEL CHANGING. ADVANTAGEOUSLY, NO ADDITIONAL KEY IN THE REMOTE IS USED TO SHARE THE SAME SET OF CHANNEL CHANGING KEYS AMONG MULTIPLE WINDOWS SUPPORTED BY THE TELEVISION APPARATUS.
