Abstract
In a speculative recording device, a profile extracting unit extracts a user profile which indicates a preference of a user in viewing programs based on an operation by the user, and a program list managing unit acquires attributes of a program. Moreover, a speculation selecting unit selects a program to be speculatively recorded based on a user profile and the attributes of the program, a storage managing unit accumulates program data, and a speculative recording managing unit erases the program data accumulated in the storage managing unit when necessary and records program data selected by the speculation selecting unit.
