ABSTRACT:
A portable television-broadcast reception unit is provided which is capable of changing the direction of a directional antenna easily to a direction where an enough quality to watch television can be obtained. In this unit: a television-broadcast reception section20receives a broadcast wave using a directional antenna10; a direction measurement section60measures the direction of the directional antenna10; an electric-field strength measurement section70measures the electric-field strength value of the received broadcast wave; a storage section30stores an electric-field strength management table which includes the direction measured by the direction measurement section60and the electric-field strength value measured by the electric-field strength measurement section70; a control section40controls the measurement of the direction and the measurement of the electric-field strength, updates the electric-field strength management table and selects the direction where the maximum electric-field strength value can be obtained; an image-turn processing section80turns the received image so that the upper part of the image is oriented to the direction where the maximum electric-field strength value can be obtained; and a display section50displays the turned image.
