Abstract
In known processes for controlling a receiver-side appliance, data concerning the identification signal of a program being received are derived automatically from the identification signal transmitted together with the program. The aim of the invention is to allow a program received after the program currently being received to be programmed in a receiver-side appliance without having to input manually individual essential data of the identification signal. According to the present invention, a first identification signal received when a receiver-side control device is activated and a predetermined number of subsequent, different identification signals are counted together and stored automatically in the data contained in the identification signals concerning the identification signal received when the predetermined number is reached and/or the previously received identification signal and the first identification signal. The present device is usable in television, radio receivers, recording appliances for television or radio signals.
