Abstract: A buffering and playback manager of a receiving device facilitates a user avoiding missing television programming on a television (TV) channel when the user is changes to another TV channel. When a user returns to a previously visited TV channel, the TV channel buffering and playback manager 100 is configured to continue the television programming from a point the TV program was at when the user had de-selected that TV channel. The TV programming of the previously visited TV channel starts or continues to be stored in a buffer when the receiving device de-selects that TV channel. Upon returning to that TV channel, the TV program data stored in the buffer is played on the TV channel instead of the live broadcast being played on that TV channel.

Abstract translation: 当用户改变到另一个电视频道时，接收设备的缓冲和回放管理器便于用户避免在电视（TV）频道上丢失的电视节目。 当用户返回到先前访问的电视频道时，电视频道缓冲和播放管理器100被配置为当用户已经取消选择该TV频道时从TV节目所处的时刻继续电视节目。 当接收设备取消选择该TV频道时，先前访问的TV频道的TV节目开始或继续存储在缓冲器中。 返回到该电视频道时，存储在缓冲器中的电视节目数据在TV频道上播放，而不是在该TV频道上播放的直播。
