Abstract
A digital broadcast reception apparatus has a program search function of receiving a digital broadcast containing program guide information while changing the frequency received in a tuner. The program guide information is selected using a condition input through a remote control as a search condition, and the genre or service type is narrowed down for temporary presentation of a program from a loudspeaker or on a display. If the audience selects the program, reception of the program is continued. As a result of trial reception, the program search can also be further continued.
