Abstract
A receiver is provided for efficiently selecting a channel providing desired broadcast information. The broadcast information of each channel transmitted from a digital broadcast has been given a plurality of categories having different priority levels. When a channel search is instructed with a category to be searched for as a specified target, a controller performs the channel search for a channel having a category matching the category to be searched for as a target in order of precedence of the categories. After the channel having the matching category is found, the controller receives the broadcast information of the channel as a new channel.
