A retransmission apparatus retransmits TS (Transport Stream) packets based on a received broadcast wave to a plurality of receiving apparatus through a network. The retransmission apparatus has a TS packet determination unit for determining whether a continuity of circulation counter values in the TS packets keeps in length equal to or more larger than a first predetermined threshold value N, and for retransmitting these TS packets when the determination is true, or for canceling these TS packets when the determination is false. Also, the TS packet determination unit determines whether a discontinuity of circulation counter values in the TS packets keeps in length equal to or more larger than a second predetermined threshold value T without retransmitting these TS packets, and sends an "off service" signal to a plurality of receiving apparatus when the determination is true.
