Program content is easily selected on a playback apparatus having a plurality of program content recording locations. A video recording management server (11) manages program IDs, the video recording condition of program content on a television apparatus (10), and recording location information indicating on which server each program content is recorded, in association with each other as program management information. The television apparatus (10) displays an electronic program guide (100) in which past and future programs are displayed integrally, and displays a video recording complete mark (RM) for programs previously recorded on a user content server (13). On the other hand, when an instruction to play back program content is made in the electronic program guide (100), the television apparatus (10) receives the program content from a server designated from the video recording management server (11) to perform streaming playback. Thus, the television apparatus (100) can perform video recording and playback of program content desired by the user by means of the electronic program guide (100), without making the user specify a program content recording location. |
