Abstract
A receiver for digital broadcasting is provided that simultaneously receives a plurality of broadcast waves. When the receiver is powered on, a digital broadcast wave of a ground wave system having the smallest amount of interleaving that has been performed on transmission data is selected for reproduction. If the reception state of the above broadcast wave is not good or when a prescribed time has elapsed from the time the receiver is powered-on, a switch is made to a broadcast wave of the reception system that was selected when the power was last turned off.
