Abstract
A receiving apparatus that sequentially receives and accumulates a plurality of broadcast contents into a storage medium deletes each content accumulated in the storage medium after a predetermined time period as the capacity of the storage medium is limited. The receiving apparatus is connected to at least one external device, and accepts a user designation of a content to be stored and of an external device into which the content is to be stored. The receiving apparatus schedules the transfer of the content in the available time period of the external device, and transfers the content to the external device if the device is not busy at the scheduled time.
