Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a channel hiding control method, a channel hiding control device, and a set top box. According to the method, the identification information of a channel needing to be hidden is written into a bouquet association table, and sent to the set top box by a transport stream without modifying the channel information in the transmission stream sent by the front end; the set top box hides a channel corresponding to the channel identification information in the bouquet association table; and as the channel information in the transmission stream sent by the front end is not modified, the set top box does not need to search programs again, thus not influencing the user to watch the programs of other channels when the channel is hidden.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of digital television, and more specifically, relates to a channel hiding control method, device and set-top box. Background technique [0002] With the development of digital TV operation technology, the market environment and user needs are changing all the time. Some channels need to be hidden because the newly launched channels are not disclosed to users during the test phase, or the program operation is regionalized. [0003] At present, a commonly used solution to realize channel hiding is: the operator removes the channel to be hidden in the program association table (ProgramAssociation Table, PAT), assuming it is channel A, and deletes the information related to channel A in the transport stream, Then update the version number of PAT. After the set-top box monitors the change of the PAT version number, it will re-search the frequency point corresponding to the PAT. The searched channel will...
