Minimizing Zapping Delay Using Adaptive Channel Switching with Personalized Electronic Program Guide

The pervasive acceptability of a revolution from monodirectional push-based media broadcasting to a bidirectional interactive pull-based internet protocol television (IPTV) has spotted significant development in recent years. The pervasive acceptability is because of the mammoth number of exhilarati...
