A method for receiving broadcasted signals, comprising the steps of: - providing a receiver for receiving broadcasted signals, - operating the receiver for executing a first scanning process over a frequency band having a predetermined range and determining respective frequencies of the frequency band at which at least one service has been respectively identified during the first scanning process, and storing the determined frequencies of the first scanning process in a first frequency list, - operating the receiver for executing a second scanning process over a frequency band having a predetermined range and determining respective frequencies of the frequency band at which at least one service has been respectively identified during the second scanning process, and storing the determined frequencies of the second scanning process in a second frequency list, - creating a main frequency list which stores frequencies (f51, f52) corresponding to frequencies (f1, f2) of the first frequency list and of the second frequency list, - after having created the main frequency list, evaluating at least one signal received by the receiver for determining whether the received signal contains at least a portion of utilizable information which indicates that the respective service is provided to the user, - if it is determined that the received signal does not contain at least a portion of utilizable information, or upon a corresponding user's instruction, operating the receiver for executing a discrete scanning process over the main frequency list, thereby considering at least one of the frequencies (f51, f52) stored in the main frequency list, characterized in that - if it is determined that the received signal at a selected one of the stored frequencies (f51, f52) of the main frequency list contains at least a portion of utilizable information and if the selected one of the stored frequencies is included in the first frequency list, operating the receiver for continuing the discrete scanning process over the first frequency list instead of the main frequency list, arid - if it is determined that the received signal at a selected one of the stored frequencies (f51, f52) of the main frequency list contains at least a portion of utilizable information and if the selected one of the stored frequencies is included in the second frequency list, operating the receiver for continuing the discrete scanning process over the second frequency list instead of the main frequency list. - providing a receiver for receiving broadcasted signals, - operating the receiver for executing a first scanning process over a frequency band having a predetermined range and determining respective frequencies of the frequency band at which at least one service has been respectively identified during the first scanning process, and storing the determined frequencies of the first scanning process in a first frequency list, - operating the receiver for executing a second scanning process over a frequency band having a predetermined range and determining respective frequencies of the frequency band at which at least one service has been respectively identified during the second scanning process, and storing the determined frequencies of the second scanning process in a second frequency list, - creating a main frequency list which stores frequencies (f51, f52) corresponding to frequencies (f1, f2) of the first frequency list and of the second frequency list, - after having created the main frequency list, evaluating at least one signal received by the receiver for determining whether the received signal contains at least a portion of utilizable information which indicates that the respective service is provided to the user, - if it is determined that the received signal does not contain at least a portion of utilizable information, or upon a corresponding user's instruction, operating the receiver for executing a discrete scanning process over the main frequency list, thereby considering at least one of the frequencies (f51, f52) stored in the main frequency list, characterized in that - if it is determined that the received signal at a selected one of the stored frequencies (f51, f52) of the main frequency list contains at least a portion of utilizable information and if the selected one of the stored frequencies is included in the first frequency list, operating the receiver for continuing the discrete scanning process over the first frequency list instead of the main frequency list, arid - if it is determined that the received signal at a selected one of the stored frequencies (f51, f52) of the main frequency list contains at least a portion of utilizable information and if the selected one of the stored frequencies is included in the second frequency list, operating the receiver for continuing the discrete scanning process over the second frequency list instead of the main frequency list.
