Abstract
In a TV program reservation system for reserving a TV program suitable to an individual's taste, a reserved TV channel number is always displayed on a display unit of a TV set, and an alarm signal can be generated when a reserved time comes so as to inform a person watching any program by manual operation, that the reserved time has arrived. On each of four divided display portions of the display unit, it is possible to display each of the reserved channels for family members, each of the reserved channels during a predetermined interval of time for an individual, or a channel and a code number when all TV programs are classified into corresponding digits. Further, a user can obtain the displayed channel by voice or other indication via telephone from a remote location.
