IP BROADCAST RECEIVER APPARATUS

摘要

There is provided an IP broadcast receiver apparatus capable of, even when the input of a stream is delayed, determining whether a stream is to be inputted later and displaying a picture when a stream is inputted. When the content providing side makes a request to set a streamstatus attribute to "play" in a display using BML, the IP broadcast receiver apparatus determines whether channel information has been acquired from an IP broadcast server. The IP broadcast receiver apparatus sets the streamstatus attribute to "play" if channel information has been acquired from the IP broadcast server and sets the streamstatus attribute to "stop" if channel information has not been acquired from the IP broadcast server.
