Abstract
The present technology relates to a reception apparatus and a data processing method that permit efficient processing of time information. The reception apparatus receives a digital broadcasting signal based on an IP transport scheme, acquires time information from a physical layer frame transported in a physical layer of a protocol stack for the IP transport scheme, converts the acquired time information into the same data format as data provided in a payload of the physical layer frame, and outputs the converted time information to a processing section that performs a given process relating to an upper layer that is a layer higher than the physical layer. The present technology is applicable, for example, to a television receiver that supports an IP transport scheme.
