PROGRAM GUIDE CREATION DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR CREATING PROGRAM GUIDE TABLE

摘要

The service information of a ground digital broadcast is automatically acquired while the BS broadcast is being enjoyed. While the user of a record/reproduce device (1A) is enjoying a broadcast by using a BS/CS digital tuner (11), a CPU (50) switches the reception channels of a ground digital tuner (21) sequentially to receive a ground digital broadcasting station available, and outputs broadcast data (TS2). This broadcast data (TS2) contains the service information of the available ground digital broadcasting station. When an SI filter (25) outputs service data (SI2), a record/reproduce control unit (30) records the service data (SI2) in an information recording medium (31). Under the control of the CPU (50), an EPG processing unit (26) creates program guide table data (EPG2) on the basis of the service data (SI2) read out from the information recording medium (31).
