Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a user to accurately and efficiently select and view a channel desired among many channels.
SOLUTION: A data processing section 16 acquires information about a user operation history including program viewing and program recording and reproduction by user operation and stores the information to a data storage section 18. In the case that display of a program table is designated from a remote controller 23, the data processing section 16 discriminates preference of program view by the user for a predetermined time band such as every hour in the unit of at least program category based on the newest electronic program guide EPG information extracted from an EPG decode section 13 and the user operation history information. The data processing section 16 discriminates ranking of recommendations for each time band for each program denoted by the EPG information based on the discrimination result and allows a display section 14 to display a recommended program list denoting a program group in matching with the user's preference in a two dimensional expression consisting of a time base axis and a recommended degree axis based on the discrimination result.
