Claim 11:
12. A reception device comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
perform a filtering process on packets transmitted on a digital broadcasting stream using an Internet Protocol (IP) transmission scheme to identify signaling packets that include tuning information and including setting information for accessing a description of a particular service;
extract, from the identified signaling packets during an initial scanning process, the tuning information;
store the tuning information extracted during the initial scanning process; and
after the tuning information is stored, perform a tuning operation for a service, including reading the tuning information, and controlling a tuning process executed by a tuner based on the tuning information stored,
wherein the tuning information is received based on a first protocol layer of a protocol stack of the IP transmission scheme, the description is received based on a second protocol layer of the protocol stack, and the second protocol layer and a physical layer of the protocol stack have at least one more protocol layer interposed therebetween than a number of protocol layers interposed between the first protocol layer and the physical layer.
