Abstract:
1. A digital broadcast receiving apparatus comprising a movable cursor in a program unit on an electronic program guide displayed on a monitor and configured to make a recording reservation for a program on which the movable cursor is positioned in the program unit, comprising: a display controller configured to: display at least one partition line in a large frame constructed program, wherein the large frame constructed program is a single program comprising a plurality of successive programs displayed as a single program frame in the electronic program guide, and wherein the at least one partition line separates the plurality of successive programs in the large frame constructed program, and reposition the movable cursor between the plurality of successive programs separated by the partition line; and a recording controller configured to make a recording reservation for a portion of the large frame constructed program, wherein the portion of the large frame constructed program comprises at least one of the plurality of successive programs on which the movable cursor is positioned, wherein a remote control light receiving part is connected to the display controller, and a control signal from a second remote controller is inputted to the display controller through the remote control light receiving part to reposition the movable cursor between the plurality of successive programs separated by the partition line, a decision key, a right arrow key, and a left arrow key are mounted on the second remote controller, if the right arrow key is pushed down within a predetermined time after an action of making the recording reservation for the portion of the large frame constructed program, a control signal by the action is input to the display controller, and the movable cursor is repositioned between the plurality of successive programs separated by the partition line to correspond to postponement of the recording start time associated with the recording reservation by one stage, wherein the recording start time is postponed by one stage each time the right arrow key is pushed down within the predetermined time, and if the left arrow key is pushed down within a predetermined time after an action of making the recording reservation, a control signal by the action is input to the display controller, and the movable cursor is repositioned between the plurality of successive programs separated by the partition line to correspond to advancement of the recording end time associated with the recording reservation by one stage, wherein the recording end time is advanced by one stage each time the left arrow key is pushed down within the predetermined time.
