A TV broadcast viewing and recording system, which can enhance viewing efficiency for each user to view TV programs even though several users use the system. The TV broadcast viewing and recording system ( 1 ) comprises a TV receiver ( 2 ), a recorder ( 3 ), and a camera ( 4 ) which takes an image in a predetermined imaging area in front of the TV receiver ( 2 ) or the recorder ( 3 ). When the user surfs the channels (S 51 ), the TV receiver ( 2 ) transmits a request signal to the recorder ( 3 ) (S 52 ). The recorder ( 3 ) performs facial recognition of an image data taken by the camera ( 4 ), identifies the user by calculating a feature quantity of the user who changes the channels (S 53 ), and extracts data files of TV programs which has not been reproduced yet (S 54 ). Subsequently, the recorder ( 3 ) transmits a message signal including information of un-reproduced data files of TV programs to the TV receiver ( 2 ) (S 55 ). The TV receiver ( 2 ) displays a list of the un-reproduced data files of TV programs on the basis of the received information so that the user can confirm existence of TV programs which has not been reproduced yet(S 56 ).
