BROADCAST PROGRAM DISPLAY DEVICE, BROADCAST PROGRAM DISPLAY METHOD, AND BROADCAST PROGRAM DISPLAY SYSTEM

摘要

Provided is a television or the like in which a program which has been received can be continuously viewed even when a TV broadcast receiver is switched from a television tuner to an external input device. The television (131) transmits an output start instruction command to a DVD recorder (101) selected as an external input device (Step 201). Upon reception of the output start instruction command, the DVD recorder (101) returns an output start report command to the television (131) (Step 202). Upon reception of the output start report command, the television (131) switches an input route of video/audio data to the DVD recorder (101) (Step 203) and transmits a channel selection command containing the information indicating the channel which has been viewed, to the DVD recorder (101) (Step 204). Upon reception of the channel selection command, the DVD recorder (101) modifies the channel selection of the tuner (103) to the channel indicated by the channel information in the channel selection command.
