System and method for establishing TV channel

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A system for automatically establishing virtual TV channels based on a geographic location of a TV, a location of a TV with respect to a dwelling, and/or a date or time includes a TV and a processor coupled to the TV.
The processor receives location and/or time information and, preferably using a set of heuristically-discovered rules, establishes one or more virtual TV channels based thereon.
In a preferred implementation, the information is input by a viewer of the TV, or it is received from a wide area data source, such as but not limited to a global positioning satellite.
Channels that are manually input or changed by a viewer can be used to alter the heuristics.
In another aspect, a method for establishing channels on a TV based on location of the TV and/or time includes providing a set of correlation heuristics.
Also, the method includes receiving an input including the location and/or the time.
The set of correlation heuristics is accessed to correlate the input to the channel.
In still another aspect, a system for tailoring TV channels to a TV location and/or a time includes means for inputting the location and/or time to establish an input, and means for correlating the input to at least one channel that is associated with the TV.
Means then establish the channel on the TV.
