1. A broadcast receiving apparatus, comprising:
a selection unit configured to select a channel from a plurality of channels included in a broadcast signal; an operation unit configured to output, in response to one of number keys of a remote controller being depressed, key-code information corresponding to the depressed number key; a first output unit configured to output video of the channel selected by the selection unit to a display device; a second output unit configured to output, in response to a channel selection by the selection unit, channel information including the channel number of the channel selected by the selection unit to the display device until a predetermined amount of time elapses; a determination unit configured to determine whether or not the second output unit is outputting the channel information if the key-code information which is identical with the key-code information associated with the channel currently selected by the selection unit is output from the operation unit; and a control unit configured to, if the key-code information which is identical with the key-code information associated with the channel currently selected by the selection unit is output from the operation unit:
(a) cause the selection unit to select one other channel that has been in advance assigned to the key-code information associated with said currently selected channel if it is determined by the determination unit that the second output unit is outputting the channel information, and(b) cause the second output unit to output the channel information of said currently selected channel if it is determined by the second determination unit that the second output unit is not outputting the channel information, with causing the selection unit to continue to select said currently selected channel, wherein, in the case where the control unit causes the selection unit to select one other channel that has been in advance assigned to the key-code information associated with said currently selected channel, the control unit causes the selection unit to select one of a plurality of other channels that have been in advance assigned to said key-code information in accordance with a predetermined order of the plurality of other channels.
