  • Receiving terminal device and control method therefor
    Patent number: 7526183
    Abstract: A receiving terminal device which provides viewers with broadcasting radio waves from broadcasting stations as programs and in which, when a program switching is executed while a first program is being provided and a program is switched to a second program, the second program is provided and video recording of the first program is started, and when the program is switched back to the first program after the program is switched to the second program, the recorded first program is provided. Then, the receiving terminal device, when the first program is selected again, executes catch-up reproduction of the recorded first program in the manner that the position of recording and reproducing the first program catch up with a position in which the first program is being broadcast by the broadcasting station. Thus, even in case that a switching of a program selection is executed, a broadcasting service without failure of program contents viewing can be realized.
