摘要

In an apparatus for receiving digital television broadcast, a user may be safeguarded from misconception that the apparatus may be in disorder. When a channel for receipt is commanded in the apparatus for receiving digital television broadcast, the number of the channel is acquired (step S11). It is verified (step S12) whether or not the channel so selected has been set as being a channel for reception. If the result of check is affirmative, a picture for the channel is displayed (step S14). If otherwise, that is if the channel selected has not been set as the channel for reception, the effect that the channel cannot be viewed is displayed (step S15). <IMAGE>
