Abstract
An auto-channel device (ACD) corresponds to a television viewing device (TVD) wherein the ACD collects information regarding the channels or programs viewed on the TVD for analysis and processing to determine the specific television programming and/or channel most likely to be watched during particular time periods corresponding to the TVD in order to automatically tune the TVD accordingly. The TVD may be auto-tuned to a specific channel when the TVD first enters an active state based on the analysis results and the time the TVD enters the active state. Likewise, the TVD may also be auto-tuned to a new channel corresponding to the end of first program on a first channel and the commencement of a second program on a second channel again based on the analysis results and current time.
