To provide a television broadcast receiving apparatus capable of receiving image data of a program at a scheduled time and a control method for controlling the apparatus, the broadcast time period of a program broadcasted via a broadcast wave is acquired and stored in a storing unit. If the already-acquired broadcast time period is different from the newly-acquired broadcast time period, the already-acquired broadcast time period is managed as an originally scheduled broadcast time period. When a certain channel is tuned in, if a program whose tuning time is within the originally scheduled broadcast time period exists among programs broadcasted on the tuned channel and having originally scheduled broadcast time periods, the same program broadcasted during the originally scheduled broadcast time period is searched for among programs broadcasted via a network. When the same program has been found, image data of the found program is received.
