Abstract

The invention is suitable for the field of set-top boxes and provides a method for regularly switching channels by a set-top box. The method comprises the following steps of: a, setting a regular channel-switching menu unit; b, setting regular switching information in the menu unit by a user and recording the regular switching information in a memory card; c, reading the regular switching information from the memory card and inserting the regular switching information into a linked list according to a time sequence; and d, acquiring interval time between the current time and the switching time of a linked list head, starting a timer, and when the timer is timed out, switching to corresponding channels by using a system. By setting a regular channel-switching unit in the set-top box, the user can select the channels needing regular switching, the switching time and a switching period in the channel-switching unit. The set-top box regularly switches to the corresponding channels according to the set parameters of the user, and greatly meets the using requirements of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of set-top boxes, in particular to a method for regularly switching channels of the set-top box. Background technique [0002] At present, the IPTV business is developing very rapidly. As a client terminal, set-top boxes provide users with rich TV programs and various interactive value-added services.
