Abstract
When programming a radio and/or television receiver for future transmissions, problems may occur due to overlapping of the programmed transmissions. For this purpose the individually programmed transmissions are provided with priority data which control the sequence in the event of overlapping transmissions. In the same way given transmissions can also be provided with blocking data which block the reception or reproduction, respectively, thereof. The use of the priority data is particularly efficient when the transmissions are controlled in addition or exclusively by transmitted identification numbers and consequently are only received during the actual transmission time, as then shifts with respect to the planned transmission times cannot be foreseen. Additional possibilities are derived from the storage of data characterizing the type of the transmission, when these data are transmitted simultaneously with the relevant transmission.
