Receiving apparatus, receiving method, and supplying medium

摘要

A small-sized and low-cost receiving apparatus receives digital television broadcasts and reproduces DVD video discs. A receiving circuit receives a digital television broadcast wave via an antenna and supplies it to a demultiplexer (DMUX). A reproducing circuit reads a signal recorded on a DVD and supplies it to another demultiplexer (DMUX). Each demultiplexer separates the input signal into a video signal coded in a compressed form, an audio signal coded in a compressed form, and copyright protection information and supplies the separated signals to a switching circuit. A video signal decoding circuit decodes the video signal coded in the compressed form as received from the switching circuit. An audio signal decoding circuit decodes the audio signal coded in the compressed form as received from the switching circuit.
