PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To display analog broadcast program information that is broadcasted in a digital broadcast program by reading channel selection information which has been stored so as to receive a channel where an analog broadcast program list information is multiplexed and broadcast, thereby selecting an analog broadcast program list in place of an analog broadcast program and displaying the list. SOLUTION: When a program list display instruction is made from a remote controller 13 while viewing an analog broadcast program, a control section 9 extracts channel selection information, which has been stored in advance in a channel selection information memory 11 and sets the information to a digital channel selection section 5. At the same time, the control section 9 instructs the reception of program reception related information to a separate section 6, extracts channel selection information to receive program list information from the received program reception related information and information to separate it, and instructs channel selection to the digital channel selection section 5 to the separate section 6. A decoding section 7 generates a program list mainly concerning the analog broadcast program which is viewed, based on the analog program list information separately received and allows a switch 8 to select the list for its display.
