Tuner apparatus and television receiver using same

摘要

A tuner apparatus of the present invention is provided with select instruction conversion means in which not only a physical channel of an analog broadcast signal but also a physical channel of a digital broadcast signal is allocated for a virtual channel space built on external select instructions intended for selection of an analog broadcast signal so that the select instruction conversion means converts a given external select instruction, according to which virtual channel the external select instruction corresponds to, into either a first internal select instruction intended for selection of an analog broadcast signal or a second internal select instruction intended for selection of a digital broadcast signal. With this configuration, when both digital/analog broadcast signals broadcast mixedly in the same frequency band are received, even if an input select instruction is intended for selection of an analog broadcast signal, it is possible to also select a digital broadcast signal in an appropriate manner by using the input select instruction.
