Abstract
A user assigns a major and minor channel number combination to a media service which does not have such a pre-existing combination, where such a media service is accessed by using such a channel combination without having to resort to the typical means of accessing the media service, such as using a web site URL or radio frequency. Optionally, the invention will automatically update the minor numbers associated with a media service when older versions of the media service become unavailable.
