Abstract:
A remote control transmitter, preferably a universal or reconfigurable remote control transmitter, is incorporated into a television receiver. Mounting a light emitting source such as a light emitting diode in a line of sight or a wired connection with an external tuning system such as that of a VCR or cable converter, and modification of the television tuning system to cause the transmission of activating signals to the remote control transmitter, allows functions which are channel associated and which are therefore generally suppressed when a remote tuning system is used to remain in force.
