摘要

The present invention relates to a reception device, a reception method, a transmission device and a transmission method for a digital signal including tuning assistant information capable of rapidly presenting one segment broadcasting which can be received, and a program. Station information acquisition units 111 to 113 acquire station information regarding a station, at least including broadcasting area information which is information of a broadcasting area capable of receiving a broadcast wave from the station which transmits the broadcast wave of arbitrary one segment broadcasting at an arbitrary segment. A station selection unit 117 selects a station of the one segment broadcasting which can be received at a predetermined position as a tunable station which can be tuned using the broadcasting area information, and a tuning control unit 118 performs tuning control in which the one segment broadcasting of the tunable station is tuned. The present invention may be applied to, for example, a portable reception terminal or the like of one seg broadcasting.
