Abstract
A broadcast reception system with improved usability is disclosed. The system includes a broadcast receivable mobile terminal and a server capable of sending and receiving data to and from the mobile terminal. This terminal has a first broadcast receiver and a first communication unit for data communication with the server. The server has a second broadcast receiver, a second communication unit for data communication with the mobile terminal, and a storage unit for storing therein the data received by the second broadcast receiver. When the first broadcast receiver goes bad in reception state, the mobile terminal transmits by the first communication unit to the server a send request information signal which calls for transmission of broadcast data. Upon receipt of this request, the server sends the data received from the storage unit to the mobile terminal by the second communication unit.
