Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve operation function of a user with less storage capacity by storing the history of channels which the user selects in a storage device of a predetermined capacity in accordance with an algorithm and displaying the list of the channels which are frequently viewed and/or automatically selecting a station. SOLUTION: The storage capacity of a storage device 4 is set to be of four channels, and the number of storing times for each channel is set to be three bits-eight times. When a channel A without stored data is selected, a storage content updating means 5 substitutes the channel A for a channel B with the lowest priority. Furthermore, when the channel A is selected, its priority is ranked to be higher than channels with similar number of selection times and a display/station selection control means 2 displays the list of channels on a screen. When a channel C whose number of selection times reaches the restricted number of times '8', the number of times for all channels is reduced by one time and a case occurs when the display/station selection control means 2 automatically selects the station. Then, the channel C is displayed.
