Title:
RECEIVING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/147580
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a receiving device that without interrupting a program being viewed is capable of switching the channel to the program in a destination reception area. When reception is good, a plurality of receiving units select the same channel and receive a program; and when reception worsens, the plurality of receiving units is divided into units for program reception and units for channel searching. The receiving units for program reception continue receiving the program, and the receiving units for channel searching search for a relay station and switch to a relay station channel having better reception than the channel being viewed. Also, in a case where a relay station channel with good reception cannot be found, affiliate broadcast stations in the same network are searched and a switch is made to a channel of an affiliate broadcast station in the same network that has better reception than the channel being viewed.
