The present invention provides a digital broadcasting receiver capable of providing a user-defined program viewing control, separately from a program viewing control defined by broadcasting stations. For each program to be broadcast by a broadcasting station, a program information memory 22 stores program information including a parental value preset by the broadcasting station and a self-parental value arbitrarily set by the user. When the user gives an instruction for viewing a given program, a program information management section 21 reads out the program information of that program from the program information memory 22. A parental determination section 24 determines whether or not the program should be blocked from being viewed based on the program information (the parental value and the self-parental value) of the program and a reference value preset in the receiver. A control section 20 issues instructions to relevant components so as to allow/block the viewing of the program according to the determination result.
