PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain the reception of a digital broadcast program by discriminating the coincidence between an information identification code in a digital signal and an information identification code set in advance in a broadcast reception terminal equipment. SOLUTION: When a reception section 1 receives a digital broadcast program from an information service center, the reception section 1 receives an information identification code in the digital signal and a multiple address message in succession to the code. The reception section 1 receives a modulated carrier, demodulates it and provides an output of it to a comparison discrimination section 3. The comparison discrimination section 3 compares and discriminates the information identification code received from the digital signal and an information identification code 16 set in advance in a memory 4 of a broadcast reception terminal equipment. When the discrimination result indicates coincidence, The 1:N broadcast type multiple address message is discriminated to be received in cross reference with the information identification code 16 set in advance by the user of the broadcast reception terminal equipment by means of an entry operation section 12. Then the fact is displayed on a display section 11 and informed to the user of the terminal equipment.
