When you select a channel and then click the Details... button in the TV Tuner settings page, the Channel Property Details page opens to let you set properties for particular channels—favorites list, channel assignment, and properties for audio, video, program lockout, and closed captioning.

For example, in the Channel Specific Settings Video page, you could change a channel to SECAM when the other channels are (by default) PAL. In the Closed Captioning page you could enable a set of Hot Words specifically for a particular channel.
