ABSTRACT:
Provided is a digital broadcast receiving apparatus that enables real-time viewing of information about a program of a current channel and a next program to be broadcast, and that can deal with a change in program, if any. In this digital broadcast receiving apparatus, when program information is found in the VBI of a television broadcast signal of a selected channel, the program information is temporarily stored in a memory. When program information display setting is enabled, the program information is read from the memory, and then a program information screen showing the program information including start time, end time, title, and VideoPlus number is displayed in a predetermined area of a display screen. Program information obtained when a predetermined time has elapsed is newly stored in the memory. When it is found that the newly stored program information is different from the program information that has already been stored in the memory, program information to be displayed is updated to the new program information.
