Setting a Channel Number

To assign the channel number specified by a user to a specific tuning device, your application performs the following process.

First, it determines if the input source for video is a tuner by using the HasChannel property of the BPCDeviceBase object. If the source is a tuner, your application assigns the specified channel to that tuner by using the BPCDeviceBase object's Channel property. To determine whether a tuner can receive the specified channel before actually setting the channel, your application can use the ChannelAvailable method of the BPCDeviceBase object.
