A display apparatus makes it possible to check video contents of another video source while continuing to watch a presently watched program. A first region for displaying first video contents, and a second region for displaying selection icons to select second video contents different from the first video contents are formed on a display screen. The selection icons make possible selection from a plurality of video sources providing the video contents and including one or more broadcasting networks and a video recording medium. The broadcasting networks are one or all of ground-based broadcasting, BS broadcasting and CS broadcasting. The video recording medium is an HDD incorporated in the display apparatus and/or a removable HDD which can be inserted into and removed from the display apparatus.
