A reception device provided with a broadcast reception unit which receives a broadcast at an instructed frequency, reproduces the broadcast, and outputs the result (steps 404, 413, 417, 418, 420, 421); a signal level judgment unit which judges whether the signal level of the broadcast is a predetermined value or higher (steps 414 to 416); and a content reception unit which receives content distributed by a predetermined network, reproduces the content, and outputs the result, said content being permitted to be viewed under the condition that the signal level of the broadcast is a predetermined value or higher (steps 405 to 412, 422 to 424); wherein, after a reception frequency has been instructed (step 404), the content reception unit performs the processing necessary for receiving and outputting content (steps 405 to 412), in parallel to the period until judgment of the signal level has been made (step 416). This reception device improves the user-friendliness of broadcast receivers. |
