This invention relates to a apparatus and a method for allowing a digital broadcast receiver smoothly to switch from one broadcast channel to another. In response to a reproduction output request, encoded data that are requested to be reproduced and output are selected and decoded accordingly. At the same time, arrangements may be provided to select and decode other encoded data in accordance with a predetermined rule. Whenever the encoded data selected as per the predetermined rule are to be reproduced and output on request, conventionally required demultiplexing and decoding processes are not needed. This provides a significant reduction in channel select time.
