Abstract
There is provided a system and method for coordinating analog and digital channel mapping features. More specifically, in one embodiment, there is provided a method, comprising performing an analog channel search to identify available analog channels, storing a list of the available analog channels found during the analog channel search, and performing a digital channel search after performing the analog channel search, wherein the digital channel search excludes the available analog channels in the list from being searched.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- performing an analog channel search to identify available analog channels;
- storing a list of the available analog channels found during the analog channel search;
- and
- performing a digital channel search after performing the analog channel search, wherein the digital channel search excludes the available analog channels in the list from being searched.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- an analog module configured to perform an analog channel search to identify available analog channels;
- a memory configured to store a list of the available analog channels found during the analog channel search;
- and
- a digital module configured to perform a digital channel search after the analog channel search, wherein the digital channel search excludes the available analog channels in the list from being searched.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- an analog module configured to perform an analog channel search to identify available analog channels;
- a digital module configured to perform a digital channel search to identify available digital channels;
- a memory configured to store a list of the available analog or digital channels found during the analog or digital channel search;
- and
- a primary channel search designation module configured to designate the analog module or the digital module as a primary module such that when the analog module is designated as the primary module, the analog channel search is performed before the digital channel search, and such that when the digital module is designated as the primary module, the digital channel search is performed before the analog channel search.
