Abstract
A television receiver, in which if a tuner can receive a signal of the television broadcast form of either television wave broadcasting or CATV broadcasting, a microcomputer executes channel preset processing so that signals of television wave broadcasting can also be received although the processing is predicated on CATV broadcasting, then determines signals of which television broadcast form can be received. If the microcomputer determines that the signals of the television wave broadcasting can be received, it makes a reference to the memory positions of the preset contents. To cause the tuner to receive a station-existing channel, the microcomputer matches the target memory position with the channel of television wave broadcasting for receiving the channel.
