METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY PROGRAMMING A RECEIVER ABLE TO RECEIVE TELEVISION SIGNALS IN AT LEAST TWO DIFFERENT FORMATS AND RELATED RECEIVER

THE INVENTION RELATES TO A RECEIVER AND A METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY PROGRAMMING A RECEIVER ADAPTED TO RECEIVE RADIO-TELEVISION SIGNALS BELONGING TO A PLURALITY OF RADIO-TELEVISION NETWORKS IN AT LEAST TWO DIFFERENT FORMATS, THE METHOD COMPRISING THE STEPS OF: -STORING INTO A FIRST TABLE (200) A FIRST PLURALITY OF PROGRAMS OF SAID PLURALITY OF RADIO-TELEVISION NETWORKS RECEIVABLE BY SAID RECEIVER IN A FIRST SIGNAL FORMAT, ASSOCIABLE WITH A FIRST SORTING CRITERION (95) OF SAID FIRST PROGRAMS; -STORING INTO A SECOND TABLE (300) A SECOND PLURALITY OF PROGRAMS OF SAID PLURALITY OF RADIO-TELEVISION NETWORKS RECEIVABLE BY SAID RECEIVER IN A SECOND SIGNAL FORMAT, ASSOCIABLE WITH A SECOND SORTING CRITERION (100) OF SAID SECOND PROGRAMS, INCLUDING A STEP OF STORING INTO A THIRD TABLE (400) PROGRAMS STORED IN SAID FIRST (200) AND SECOND (300) TABLES BASED ON EXISTING MATCHES BETWEEN SAID FIRST (95) AND SAID SECOND (100) SORTING CRITERIA.
