    a controller for controlling the receiving unit, the decoder, the storage unit, and the synthesis unit;

    whereinthe storage unit further stores a condition for determining whether the transmitted content is a commercial with which an image is synthesized and information for designating image data assigned for each condition;

    the controller determines whether the transmitted content satisfies a condition stored in the storage unit; and

    if the controller determines that the transmitted content satisfies at least one of conditions stored in the storage unit, the synthesis unit reads from the storage unit image data designated by information for designating image data assigned for a satisfied condition stored in the storage unit and synthesizes an image represented by the image data with video represented by the video signal.
