A digital broadcast signal formed of compressed video data multiplexed with compressed audio data and program guide data is received. The signal is demultiplexed, and a display processor processes the program guide data so as to display a program guide window containing a number of program names. A cursor for designating a desired program is moved in the window and a controller controls the receiver so that a program designated by the cursor is received.
