When acquiring electronic program guide (EPG) in digital broadcast receiver apparatus, broadcast receiver apparatus automatically acquires and stores station-specific EPGs while in non-receiving state. When receiver apparatus is in non-receiving state, prescribed transmission path is selected, and all or only desired station-specific EPGs are acquired in sequence. Examples of methods of judging non-receiving state include method of confirming reception of broadcast signals in transmission path selection device, method of confirming output of broadcast play data for watching in display synthesis device, and method of confirming whether power state is standby state. Examples of selection of prescribed transmission path include method of selecting transmission path including station with smallest amount of stored station-specific EPG data, method of selecting transmission path including station set by viewer, method of performing search based on keywords or categories input by viewer and selecting transmission path including matching station, and method of determining transmission paths for EPG acquisition from state of update of all-station EPG. <IMAGE> |
