Patent ID: 8478112

Claim:
A digital broadcast recording device for receiving a digital broadcast and storing program information of the digital broadcast, comprising: a receiver configured to receive one physical channel of the digital broadcast, the one physical channel including a specific number of two or more sub-channels; a program information memory configured to store the program information of the digital broadcast received by the receiver; and a controller that: displays a first setting screen with a guidance information and input buttons, the guidance information prompting a user of the digital broadcast recording device to input a first operation input indicating whether or not the program information corresponding to the one physical channel received by the receiver is entirely recorded, and receives the first operation input from the user through selection of the input buttons of the first setting screen by the user, and set a recording condition based on the first operation input, displays a second setting screen prompting the user to input a second operation input indicating which of the program information corresponding to a subset of the specific number of the sub-channels included in the one physical channel is recorded in response to the receiving of the first operation input indicating that the program information corresponding to the one physical channel received by the receiver is not entirely recorded through selection of one of the input buttons of the first setting screen by the user, the second setting screen being different from the first setting screen, and receives the second operation input from the user, and set a channel number corresponding to the subset of the specific number of the sub-channels based on the second operation input, extracts the program information corresponding to the subset of the specific number of the sub-channels set by the second setting component from the program information of the digital broadcast received by the receiver when the recording condition is set to record the program information corresponding to the subset of the specific number of the sub-channels, and records to the program information memory the program information corresponding to the one physical channel of the digital broadcast received by the receiver when the recording condition is set to record the program information corresponding to the one physical channel, and record to the program information memory the program information corresponding to the subset of tile specific number of the sub-channels extracted by the extraction component when the recording condition is set to record the program information corresponding to the subset of the specific number of the sub-channels.
