Abstract: The diversity device includes: a plurality of antennas via which electric wave signals are respectively received; and a plurality of front-end circuits for amplifying signal levels of the electric wave signals received via the plurality of antennas, respectively, target signal levels of output signals supplied from the plurality of front-end circuits being set in advance, the diversity device further including: a control section for comparing first gains of the plurality of front-end circuits; and a switch for selecting, in accordance with a comparison result obtained by the control section, an IF signal supplied from a front-end circuit, among the plurality of front-end circuits, having a smallest first gain. The above arrangement enables provision of the diversity device that is capable of (i) selecting, from among a plurality of electric wave signals, an electric wave signal which is receivable in a best condition and (ii) being downsized.

Abstract: A simultaneous broadcasting receiver of this invention receives simultaneously both analog and digital broadcasts transmitting an identical content, changes input systems according to a reception status of the digital broadcast, and is configured in such a way that a power to an analog broadcasting receiver is controlled according to the reception status of the digital broadcast. In this configuration, based on the reception status of the digital broadcast, it is possible to reduce power which is otherwise unnecessarily consumed.

Abstract: A television receiving apparatus includes a first tuner unit that receives a broadcast signal and performs frequency conversion on the received broadcast signal into an IF signal or a base band signal for output; a first digital demodulating circuit that demodulates the signal received from the first tuner unit and outputs a digital signal; a casing; a first input terminal; and a second digital demodulating circuit that demodulates a signal received at the first input terminal and outputs a digital signal, wherein the first tuner unit, the first digital demodulating circuit, and the second digital demodulating circuit are housed in the casing, and the first input terminal is attached to the casing.
