PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify setting etc. of electronic program list distribution channels which are different by each service area of video device.;SOLUTION: A search process (ST 20 to ST 26 in figure 2) of a receivable broadcasting channel is started by external power feeding, after sales or distribution of the video device (digital TV, DVD recorder etc.) in which a searching method is performed for the electronic program list distribution channel, after a long period of power failure, or after moving house. Then a distribution channel of an electronic program list is to be stored (ST28; ST37; ST47), when the distribution channel (for example ADAMS of 10 CH in Tokyo) of the electronic program list is found ("yes" in ST24) from among receivable broadcasting channels. These processes are to be performed automatically at a primary stage of starting usage, after the video device has been installed at its service space.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
