Abstract:
1. A broadcast receiving apparatus, comprising: a circuit board including a quadrangular mounting area having a first side, a second side connected to one end of said first side, a third side opposite to said first side, and a fourth side connected to the other end of said first side and opposite to said second side, said mounting area including a first area having a rectangular shape in contact with a portion of said first side and a portion of said second side, a second area having a rectangular shape in contact with a portion of said first side and a portion of said fourth side, a third area having a rectangular shape in contact with said third side, a portion of said second side and a portion of said fourth side, and a fourth area in contact with said fourth side and disposed between said second area and said third area; said broadcast receiving apparatus further comprising: a terrestrial broadcast tuner section disposed in said first area for frequency-converting an externally supplied terrestrial broadcast signal into an IF signal; a satellite broadcast tuner section disposed in said second area for frequency-converting an externally supplied satellite broadcast signal into a signal having a frequency band lower than that of said satellite broadcast signal; and a digital demodulation section disposed in said fourth area for demodulating the signal supplied from either one of said terrestrial broadcast tuner section and said satellite broadcast tuner section, wherein in said third area, a terrestrial broadcast analog demodulation section, for demodulating the IF signal frequency-converted by said terrestrial broadcast tuner section, is removable, said third area is provided such that a new side is opposed to said first side of said quadrangular mounting area if said third area is removed, and said new side includes an edge portion of said first area opposed to said third side and an edge portion of said fourth area opposed to said third side.
