Abstract

A TVPC 10 accumulates history information that has information indicating a channel viewed by a user and viewing time of the channel in a way that associates the information and the viewing time, and generates, based on the history information, preset information indicating any one of channels. The preset information is registered in a remote controller 20 for remotely operating a television receiver 30. When an instruction to tune on a power supply of the television receiver 30 is received from an operator, the remote controller 20 transmits an operation signal for designating the channel specified by the preset information 21 to the television receiver 30 together with an operation signal for designating switching of a power supply state.
