Abstract
Digital broadcast receiving terminal apparatus which receives multi-channel digital broadcast signals to record the huge capacity without deteriorating the quality of signals and to visualize the digital broadcasting. The outputs form the error correction decoding circus 4 are applied to the TS processor 12 via the switches SW 1 and SW 2, at the same time they are applied to the recording program selector 11. The recording program selector 11 applies the encoded data of the predetermined program to the digital interface 13, the digital interface 13 inputs and outputs the encoded data through bus in the IEEE1394 specification for example. Thus, the encoded data are applied to the external equipment and recorded as they are, and the degradation of the quality can be prevented. The switches SW 1 and SW 2 changes the receiving signals and the outputs from the digital interface 13 and applies them to the TS processor 12. The TS processor 12 depacketizes the input encoded data. Therefore, the image reproduction based on the receiving signals or the outputs from the external equipment can be carried out.
