<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multicast broadcast receiving terminal and a multicast broadcast relay apparatus, capable of reducing the load on a network by suppressing distribution of multicast packets of an unwanted channel. <P>SOLUTION: The multicast broadcast receiving terminal is provided with a channel change request detector 11 for monitoring a request of changing a channel and detecting a change request channel indicating the changed channel. A communication control section 14 monitors a change in the change request channel detected by the channel change request detector 11. If the change request channel does not change after the predetermined time elapses, program request information indicating that the channel under reception should be changed to the change request channel is transmitted to a distribution server 1. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT</p> |
