Embodiment Construction

[0037] The present invention utilizes the attribute of the channel and the service to carry out the association setting. Add a new channel and set the channel SCFlag, serviceType and displayType attribute values.

Abstract

The invention discloses a service design and channel (hereinafter referred to as service channelization) method for a network protocol television. Conventional services are hidden in layers of text menus and therefore are complex in operation and difficult to find and use.
