ABSTRACT:
A broadcast receiving apparatus receives a broadcast signal containing video image information representing a video image, pay program identifying information indicating whether or not the video image is a pay program video image, and address information indicating a predetermined communications server, the broadcast signal containing the video image information, the pay program identifying information, and the address information in a predetermined format. The broadcast receiving apparatus has: a display portion displaying the video image; a pay program judging portion judging whether or not the video image information is pay program video image information based on the pay program identifying information; and a recording portion recording the video image information. If the pay program judging portion judges that the video image information is pay program video image information, the recording portion records the address information in addition to the video image information. A pay program providing system includes the broadcast receiving apparatus. Thus, provided are the broadcast receiving apparatus and the pay program providing system that, without hampering collection of a viewing fee, make it easy for a viewer to record a pay program without the need for making a subscription agreement or the like in advance.
