Abstract

The invention provides a channel switch method and a television device. Particularly, the channel switch method is applied to the television device, and a view channel is played by the television device. The channel switch method comprises the following steps: setting the currently-played view channel as a candidate channel; switching the view channel into other non-candidate channels; calculating whether the total time for switching the view channel into the other non-candidate channels reaches a first setting time; and when the total time reaches the first setting time, switching the view channel back to the candidate channel. The candidate channels can be automatically stored in the television device, and can be automatically returned back after a period of time. Thus, the awkward situation that a user forgets to return the original view channel back after the time spot of the original view channel is over can be avoided.
