The present invention relates to an entertainment system and method for
selectively storing broadcast channels by the entertainment system. To
store a broadcast channel, the system first receives programming data
associated with the channel. A show associated with the channel is
displayed and a menu associated with the storing of the channel in memory
may also be displayed. The viewer may then select to add to or remove
from memory the programming data associated with the currently tuned
channel via a one-step process, and the programming data is subsequently
loaded into the memory.
