PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a transmission method, etc. which is suitable for providing a user with information such as programs using bands efficiently. SOLUTION: Programs of a channel A sent from the transmission side can be viewed in real time on the reception side. On the other hand, programs of a channel B are sent from the transmission side to the reception side in advance during a time zone such as night time with fewer viewers than in other time zones, and are stored in a storage device on the reception side. The stored programs have been encrypted. A program X is scheduled to be provided to viewers from 7 p. m. When the program providing time comes, data such as key as well as the data on the programs of the channel A are sent from the transmission side to the reception side. Then, the reception side extracts the data such as key and uses it to view the programs stored in the storage device. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
