Abstract text

A broadcast receiver includes a broadcast receiving unit that receives a broadcast signal; a general broadcast channel storing unit that stores general broadcast channel information, which is receivable in an area by the receiving unit in advance; a position detecting unit that detects a current position; a matching determination unit that compares the receivable channel received by the receiving unit with the general broadcast channel information of the area corresponding to the current position detected by the detecting unit that is read out from the general broadcast channel storing unit, and then determines whether or not the receivable channel matches the general broadcast channel information; a separation display unit that displays the receivable channel that does not match the general broadcast channel information as a local broadcast channel, and displays the location broadcast channel separately from the receivable channel.
