PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably reproduce transmitted signals by improving resistance to transmission error of a control signal related to transmission, for example a transmission multiplexing configuration control(TMCC) signal. SOLUTION: In digital broadcast signal reception equipment for receiving a digital broadcast signal transmitting both the control signal related to the transmission (TMCC signal) and main signals, the received signal is demodulated by a demapping circuit 43 and the TMCC signal and the main signals are decoded by a Viterbi decoding circuit 44. A TMCC decoder 47 decodes the TMCC signal from a signal, which is outputted from the Viterbi decoding circuit 44 and inputted through a deinterleave circuit 45 and a Reed-Solomon decoding circuit 46, extracts transmission control information such as the modulating system or encoding rate of the main signal and outputs it to the demapping circuit 43 and the Viterbi decoding circuit 44. |
