A reserved recording method and apparatus performs reserved recording based upon the contents of programs. When program information is reserved, a block number denoting the class of the program is stored in a memory. Then, after receiving current time information through a timer, when the current time is the pre-programmed recording time, the initial program is recorded and the existence of program information having the same block number is checked. If a program of the same block number exists, the pre-programmed time of this program is compared with those of programs having other block numbers, so that a fast-forward operation is performed for as long as the predetermined tape length of the program of the same block number when a program of another block number is earlier. Then, a program of another block number is recorded at the corresponding pre-programmed time. Also, if the program of another block number is already recorded at the current position on the tape, a rewind operation is performed to the corresponding position, thereby recording the program at the corresponding pre-programmed time. Since the locations of respective programs recorded on the tape are linked based upon the content thereof, the recorded programs having a desired content can be easily selected for viewing during playback.
