A bidirectional cable television ("CATV") system includes a CATV distributing device which transmits information through each of a plurality of channels. The information includes video information and added information relating to the content of the video information. A TV receiver then displays the video information that is transmitted from the CATV distributing device, and a processing terminal device compiles a picture that can be displayed on a monitor TV. The picture is compiled from the video information and added information that are sent from the CATV distributing device. The CATV distributing device includes a communication unit that transmits the video information and added information through each of the plurality of channel. The processing terminal device includes a communication unit that receives the video information and added information from the CATV distributing device, and a picture that is displayed on a monitor TV. The picture is displayed by dividing a single image field into a plurality of image regions and inserting the video information and added information which are made to correspond, mutually, in one of the image regions.
