1. A method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a first data corresponding to a first channel from a server wherein said server transmits a television program over said first channel;
transmitting said first data to a television signal processor wherein said television signal processor tunes said first channel in response to receiving said first data;
receiving a user input;
transmitting a control signal to said server wherein said server transmits said television program over a second channel in response to receiving said control signal;
receiving a second data corresponding to a second channel from said server; and
transmitting said second data to said television signal processor wherein said television signal processor tunes said second channel in response to receiving said second data.
