Abstract
An automatic channel search system for use with a video display apparatus that has multiple video interfaces, in which all the channels of the multiple video interfaces are searched for a signaling channel carrying thereon a signal, and the signaling status and/or non-signaling status the respective channels is recorded. Utilizing this method, a channel search operation can be achieved in a significantly reduced time. Particularly, when there is one only one signaling channel found in the search, straightforward image processing is performed on the signal carried on that signaling channel to display the image of the signal. Further, when more than one signaling channel is found, the signaling channels are shown for the user to select one, and the signal of the selected channel is processed and displayed.
