Receiving apparatus

摘要

By analyzing data of a PAT of a reproduction signal from a digital signal recording/reproducing apparatus, whether a transport stream reproduced by the digital recording/reproducing apparatus is a stream of a plurality of programs or not is discriminated. In case of the stream of a plurality of programs, it is determined that the transport stream is a transport stream of the multiprogram recording system, so that a video packet and an audio packet of a program of the smallest program number among a plurality of programs are selected and decoded. Or, a video image and an audio sound are muted or a warning indicating that the signal cannot be reproduced is displayed.
