When an input is switched to another input during monitoring of stream data and the input is returned to the stream data again, the stream data can be easily reproduced from a position just before it is switched to another input. When the input is switched to a DTV broadcast received by an antenna 2 during the reproduction of a video stream transmitted from a video server 10, a receiver 1 requests the video server 10 to stop the reproduction of the video stream and stores information of a position where the reproduction of the video stream is stopped. In the receiver 1, when the input is switched to the video stream side again, the receiver 1 requests the video server 10 to restart the reproduction of the video stream which had been reproduced just before the input has been switched at the previous time. At this time, the position information stored upon transmission of the reproduction stop request is transmitted to the video server 10 and the reproduction of the video stream is started from the position where the input has been switched at the previous time.
