Abstract

Boot-up delay within a television receiver IC is substantially reduced by loading a portion of an operating program into the television receiver IC to enable execution of time-consuming receiver initialization operations, and then executing the receiver initialization operations concurrently with loading the remainder of the operating program into the television receiver IC. By this operation, the time required to execute the receiver initialization operations may be at least partly hidden under the time required to load the operating program, thereby substantially reducing the boot-up delay.
