Abstract
A channel preset device a television receiver for receiving one of two television broadcasting modes having different frequency band with each other is disclosed. A signal is received by successively tuning to the respective frequencies of the both broadcasting modes allocated to each of channels. Then it is judged whether each of the received signals includes an actual broadcasting signal. A channel in which the actual broadcasting signal is detected is determined as an on-air channel. The number of channel judged as the on-air channel is counted with respect to each of the both broadcasting modes. A receivable broadcasting mode is judged out of the both broadcasting modes in accordance with the counted number of the on-air channel. The channel preset is conducted with respect to the receivable broadcasting mode.
