Abstract
A method of displaying a progressive degree of channel setting in a digit vision receiver having automatic channel settings including setting a kind of channel and acquiring the total number of channels corresponding to the kind of the channel which is set. In addition, a start channel is selected and a tested number of channels is obtained by calculating an absolute value of the difference between the start channel and a present channel. Next, a percentage value of the tested number of channels to the total number of channels is calculated and then stored in a memory. The percentage value stored in the memory is then displayed on a display unit to a user enabling the user to determine the current percentage of channels which have been previously selected. Additionally, the method determines whether the present channel is a final channel and increments the channel by one channel when the present channel is not the final channel and returns to the step of calculating the tested number of channels to repeatedly perform the subsequent steps.
