Abstract
A control device (32; 35) for controlling at least a first receiving device (1) so as to achieve that television channel information (FKI) stored in correlation with program position information (PPI) is stored in a second receiving device (2; 33), includes an encoding stage (29; 38) for encoding program position information (PPI) applied to the encoding stage (29; 38) and for supplying a corresponding control signal (SS1, SS2), and a transmitting stage (30) for transmitting the control signal (SS1, SS2) to the first receiving device (1) so as to achieve that a television signal (FS1) is supplied from the first receiving device (1) to the second receiving device (2; 33), the television signal (FS1) being identified by television channel information (FKI) stored in the first receiving device (1) in correlation with this program position information (PPI), expiry control means (31; 41) being provided, which are adapted to supply further program position information (PPI) in an ascending or descending order after the supply of said program position information (PPI) to the encoding stage (29; 38), the subsequent supply of program position information (PPI) to the encoding stage (29; 3…
