An EPG (Electric Program Guide) receiving apparatus includes a tuner for tuning a received digital-broadcast signal, a storage device for storing partial or entire program titles and abbreviated character strings corresponding to the partial or entire program titles, and an EPG information processing device. The EPG information processing device compares the partial or entire program titles stored in the storage device with information of a target portion of an electric program guide included in the received digital-broadcast signal tuned by the tuner. The EPG information processing device further retrieves, from the partial or entire program titles stored in the storage device, an abbreviated character string corresponding to a partial or entire program title included in the target portion of an EPG. Then, the EPG information processing device generates information of the EPG including, if any, the abbreviated character string in replacement of information of the target portion of the EPG.
