BROADCAST RECEPTION SYSTEM, PROGRAM INFORMATION PROVIDING DEVICE, AND BROADCAST RECEIVER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a broadcast reception system capable of selecting only a program having at least a fixed program rating for viewing or recording.

SOLUTION: A program information providing device 30 divides an EPG for guiding a program into each genre, stores the EPG for each genre to which a viewing/recording count value obtained by counting the number of viewing/recording times is added for each program, and sends the corresponding EPG for each genre when a broadcast receiver 20 requests the EPG for each genre of a designated genre. The receiver 20 returns the EPG for each genre having the viewing/recording count value obtained by counting the number of viewing/recording times to the device 30 by utilizing the acquired EPG for each genre. The device 30 totals the viewing/recording count value that the EPG for each genre returned from the receiver 20 has for each program for composing the EPG for each genre for generating the program rating of each program, and registers only the program in which the generated program rating is larger than a prescribed value at the EPG for each genre.
