Abstract
A method for performing schedule control of a multichannel broadcasting program receiver includes: retrieving viewing plan information from outside the multichannel broadcasting program receiver, for use of determining a program viewing plan for a user, wherein the viewing plan information indicates at least one source viewing plan recommended by at least one other user/service provider; and when it is detected that a current time matches a start time of a specific program indicated by the program viewing plan, triggering the multichannel broadcasting program receiver to turn on a main power of the multichannel broadcasting program receiver, allowing the specific program to be watched/recorded. An associated apparatus is also provided. For example, the apparatus may include a portion of the multichannel broadcasting program receiver, such as a control circuit of the multichannel broadcasting program receiver. In another example, the apparatus may include the whole of the multichannel broadcasting program receiver.
