    摘要: A system and methods for configuring a television signal SourceType received by one or more tuners. Each of the tuners in the system are initially identified. The signal type is detected, and based on the signal type, a recorder thread is populated with compatible scanners. A weighted scanning order is established within each recorder thread. In one embodiment, the weighted scanning order is based in part on the region where the tuners receive a signal. Once the recorder threads are established, the tuners are scanned in parallel. Based on the scanning results, the television signal SourceType for each tuner is reported.

    摘要: A channel-selection filter. The channel-selection filter helps a user navigate to a desired channel. In particular, the channel-selection filter presents a filtered channel list to the user when the user issues one or more channel-filtering commands. The filtered channel list narrows a list of all available channels to those channels that correspond to the channel-filtering commands issued by the user. When presented with a filtered channel list, the user can select a channel from the filtered channel list. The user can also issue additional channel-filtering commands to further narrow the list of channels presented in the filtered channel list.

    摘要: A user interface (“UI”) control framework enables UI controls to be declaratively created inline with the HTML markup without having to write boilerplate JavaScript that would usually be needed with conventional UI control models. The UI control framework is architected to sit on top of existing WinJS (Windows Library for JavaScript) functionality and encapsulates behaviors that are common across many control implementations so that a single instance of a UI control template may be used to stamp out multiple control instances. The UI control framework separates layout from the “code behind” in the backing controls so that data binding can be implemented abstractly without explicit knowledge of the layout of the control and any of its child controls. The markup provides “anchor points” that allow the code to have direct access to a child control. Custom expando HTML attributes are utilized that place named properties on control instances.

    摘要翻译: 用户界面(“UI”)控件框架可以使UI控件与HTML标记一致地进行声明式创建,而无需编写常规UI控件模型通常需要的样板JavaScript。 UI控制框架被设计为位于现有的WinJS(Windows Library for JavaScript)功能之上,并封装了许多控件实现中通用的行为,以便可以使用UI控件模板的单个实例来消除多个控件实例。 UI控制框架将布局与后台控件中的“代码背后”分离,以便数据绑定可以抽象地实现,而不需要明确了解控件及其任何子控件的布局。 标记提供允许代码直接访问子控件的“锚点”。 使用自定义expando HTML属性,将命名属性放在控件实例上。
