BROADCAST RECORDING AMD REPRODUCING APPARATUS AND ITS METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a broadcast recording and reproducing apparatus that can describe logical information and physical information of program relating information as independent pieces of information while distinguishing the logical information from the physical information. SOLUTION: Even information 21 holds the physical information with respect to a program distribution method and data format. Program contents information 22 holds the logical information with respect to the contents of a program. The event information 21 and the program contents information 22 are correlated to each other in a relation of a plural number versus 1. Thus, it is prevented that duplicate description of the same information exists in the program relating information so as to reduce the amount of description of data as a whole.
