PROGRAM SELECTION SUPPORTING DEVICE AND PROGRAM SELECTION SUPPORTING METHOD

摘要

A preference judging part (20a) extracts the highest preference with respect to broadcast programs and judges whether a broadcast program to display on a display part when power is supplied is of the highest preference. A recording judging part (20c) identifies a broadcast program of the highest preference of a viewer and judges whether the broadcast program is being recorded, or has been recording-reserved or not by a recording and reproducing part. When it is judged that the broadcast program to display on the display part when power is supplied is not the broadcast program of the highest preference and neither recording nor recording reservation is performed, a display determination part (12a) determines to support program selection for viewing the broadcast program of the highest preference.
