1. A broadcasting receiver for both an airwave broadcast and an IP broadcast, comprising:
- a broadcast output unit to output content of the airwave broadcast of a selected station or content of the IP broadcast associated with the airwave broadcast; and
an output controller to cause the broadcast output unit to output the content of the IP broadcast of the selected station if the content of the IP broadcast of the selected station can be outputted, and causing the broadcast output unit to output the content of the airwave broadcast of the selected station if the content of the IP broadcast of the selected station cannot be outputted.

Abstract
A selected station is identified from the current position and the reception frequency of that selected station (S54), and if that selected station performs internet broadcasts (S55 YES), the internet broadcast is received (S64) and that program is outputted (S65 to S67), whereas if that station does not perform internet broadcasts (S55 NO), an airwave is received and outputted (S68 to 69). Disclosed are a broadcasting receiver, control method, and program which enable a broadcasting receiver (21), used for airwave broadcasts and IP broadcasts, to be able to effectively output both broadcasts.

7. A broadcasting receiver for both an airwave broadcast and an IP broadcast, comprising:
-
a broadcast output unit to output content of the airwave broadcast of a selected station or content of the IP broadcast associated with the airwave broadcast; and an output controller to cause the content output unit to output audio of the airwave broadcast and a moving image or a still image of the IP broadcast if the IP broadcast of the selected station can be outputted and the content of the IP broadcast of the selected station does not include audio but only includes the moving image or the still image. - View Dependent Claims (19)

22. A method of controlling a broadcasting receiver for both an airwave broadcast and an IP broadcast, comprising:
-
a step of judging whether a selected station can output the IP broadcast or not; and a step of, if the selected station can output the IP broadcast, causing content of the IP broadcast of the selected station to be outputted, and, if the selected station cannot output the IP broadcast, causing content of the airwave broadcast of the selected station to be outputted. - View Dependent Claims (25)

23. A method of controlling a broadcasting receiver for both an airwave broadcast and an IP broadcast, comprising:
-
a step of judging whether the IP broadcast of a selected station can be outputted or not; a step of judging whether or not content of the IP broadcast of the selected station does not include audio but includes only a moving image or a stationary image; and a step of, if the IP broadcast of the selected station can be outputted and the content of the IP broadcast of the selected station does not include audio but only includes a moving image or a stationary image, causing the content output unit to output audio of the airwave broadcast and a moving image and a stationary image of the IP broadcast.
