EPG information includes so many programs provided by digital broadcasting that creating an electronic program table based on the EPG information will cause the program display fields to be accordingly subdivided, thereby making it difficult to display all of the electronic program table information so as to be browsable. The present invention is characterized in that in a program table including a representative channel predetermined in a TS and channels other than that, display control is performed as follows: 1) The display width of the representative channel is arranged to be explicitly larger than (not less than 1.5 times of) those of channels other than the representative channel. In particular, the channels other than the representative channel are configured to have a width within which more than one character, which is of the size of the characters entered in program cells, cannot be displayed; and 2) The display areas for channels other than a representative channel is disposed at the side (left or right side) of the representative channel such that each broadcasting station, which includes a representative channel and channels other than the representative channel, has an approximately uniform display width. |
