The invention aims to provide a digital broadcast reception device capable of improving user-friendliness concerning information acquisition by a user even when a program video display-disabled state is caused. When a video display is disabled, a CPU displays a message saying 'reception is disabled' on the screen. Furthermore, the CPU acquires program information from the PSI/SI which has been acquired during reception of the program and displays the broadcast station name, the channel number, the program title, and the like on the screen. Furthermore, if the program information includes URI as a program site read destination, a program site button for its selection is displayed. When the program site button is operated by the user, the Internet connection is performed by a PHS data card and an image based on the file received is displayed on an LCD panel (202). |
