To record the beginning and end of each of multiple programs for scheduled recording without missing any part of them and without increasing the size of a processor. A program recorder includes a control section for outputting an instruction to start or finish recording based on scheduling information and a recording processing section for starting or finishing recording a program in accordance with an instruction to start or finish. If the scheduling information is set for multiple programs, the control section specifies, by reference to time information, a number of consecutive programs according to schedule among the multiple programs scheduled to be recorded, outputs the instruction to start at the broadcast start time of the first one of the programs, outputs the instruction to finish at the broadcast end time of the last one, and generates management information to play back those programs. The recording processing section records a single data stream including the consecutive programs and the management information on a storage medium.
