ABSTRACT:
A receiver that provides continuous scrolling when a program guide is displayed and scrolled in a channel direction, even if displayed content extends across transponders. Front-end circuits, and a memory circuit that accumulates received data are provided. An OSD circuit that forms an image signal in accordance with the data accumulated in the memory circuit and a system control circuit are provided. The control circuit performs control such that, in a period in which an image is displayed using the data received by the front-end circuit and accumulated in the memory circuit, the front-end circuit receives another transponder and accumulates data to be required next in the memory circuit, and in a period in which an image is displayed using the data received by the front-end circuit and accumulated in the memory circuit, the front-end circuit receives another transponder and accumulates data to be required next in the memory circuit.
