1. A receiving apparatus, comprising:
- receiving means for receiving streaming contents through a network;
power detecting means for detecting an instruction of a power off from operation instructing means;
controlling means for, in response to an output from the power detecting means indicating detection of the power off, controlling the receiving means to periodically receive during the power off the streaming contents that are received by the receiving means immediately before the power off; and
accumulating means for accumulating data of the streaming contents that are periodically received during the power off.
