Abstract
When an operation of starting a time shift recording is input, start a recording of a channel in viewing when the channel is set as a favorite channel. When the channel is not set as the favorite channel, recording is not started and waits for the channel to be switched again or for an input of a stop operation of the time shift recording. When a viewer performs a channel switching operation, it is checked whether or not the switched channel is set as the favorite channel. When the channel switching operation is not performed and the stopping of the time shift recording is not performed, the recording on a hard disk is subsequently made. When the stopping of the time shift recording is performed, the recording is stopped.
