The invention relates to a TV signal receiver (5) having a first input terminal (7) for receiving a first input signal, a tuner (11) for deriving a first TV signal from the first input signal. Said first input signal comprises interruptions interrupting said first TV signal. The TV receiver (5) further comprises a second input terminal (8) for receiving a second input signal, a storage device (17) for storing and reading at least a plurality of second TV signal blocks in/from a memory, whereby said second TV signal blocks are derived from the second input signal. Control means (25) are provided for generating a first control signal for controlling the storage device to read at least one second TV signal block from the memory to obtain a second TV signal. A signal combination unit (19) is provided for replacing a part of the first TV signal by the second TV signal so as to obtain a composite TV signal in response to said first control signal. The composite TV signal is applied to an output terminal (9). The TV signal receiver further comprises user activatable input means (23) for receiving a command from a user to insert a second TV signal block in the first TV signal.
