A program recording system includes a home server which serves as a main controller, and a recording apparatus which is in charge of recording programs. When a confirmation request receiving unit receives a request for confirmation of contents of a program that is then being broadcast, from a remote user, an image acquiring unit instructs a capturing unit to capture an image of the program being currently on the air. The captured image is sent to the user by an image transmission processor. When a recording request receiving unit receives a recoding request from the user, a recording instructing unit gives a program storage an instruction to record the program. A free-run recording unit continuously records the program in the endless manner, and the program storage stores the program, from its broadcast start time retroactively, whose recording has been requested.
