The display controller controls displaying such that only the character data is displayed for TV programs having duration shorter than a predetermined time whereas both of the character data and the video data are displayed for TV programs having duration equal to or longer than the predetermined time by adjusting a size of the video data in a direction of height or width in the EPG as an integer multiple of a size of the character data.
