INFORMATION RECORDING DEVICE, INFORMATION RECORDING METHOD, INFORMATION TRANSMISSION DEVICE, AND INFORMATION TRANSMISSION METHOD

摘要

There is provided an information recording device used for receiving digital broadcast and recording it. The information recording device can surely detect a lack of information indicating a discontinuity point of a program in the information to be recorded and record the information with a correct program configuration. When recording a partial TS consisting of a plurality of events and outputted from a set top box in a recording device, an event reference count flag indicating the event output sequence is extracted from the input while the number of events actually inputted as partial TS are counted. The calculation result is compared to the event count indicated by the event reference count flag. When the calculation result is different from the event count, it is recognized that the event boundary information is lacking and a partial TS has been inputted.
