DIGITAL BROADCAST RECEIVER APPARATUS AND DIGITAL BROADCAST RECEPTION METHOD

摘要

This invention is directed to causing emergency earthquake prompt reports to be video-displayed and/or audio-outputted on a priority basis in a digital broadcast receiver apparatus or method capable of receiving emergency earthquake prompt reports transmitted via digital broadcasts. When an emergency earthquake prompt report is broadcasted, switch units (128, 129) switch from the broadcast video and audio signals of an ordinary television broadcast to the video and audio signals of the emergency earthquake prompt report. This can provide a digital broadcast receiver apparatus that video-displays and audio-outputs emergency earthquake prompt reports at the highest priority or at the top level.
