摘要 |
The present invention provides a digital broadcast receiver which reduces the time needed for channel scans by performing efficient channel scanning when broadcasts in a plurality of broadcast protocols are received. As a first phase channel scan, a first controller and a second controller divide a plurality of channels included in an overlapping frequency band of a first broadcast protocol and a second broadcast protocol, and execute parallel channel scans. After the first phase channel scan, the first controller scans channels in which electrical signals generated from electromagnetic waves received by a second tuner in the first phase channel scan could not be demodulated by a second demodulator, and the second controller scans channels in which electrical signals generated from electromagnetic waves received by a first tuner could not be demodulated by a first demodulator.
