Abstract

A portable telephone is provided with a broadcast wave receiving section, a reception state detection section for detecting a packet loss ratio (reception defection degree) in the reception of the broadcast wave received by the broadcast wave receiving section, and a reception defection notice mail section and mail process section for transmitting a reception defection notice mail to a broadcast station if the packet loss ratio detected by the reception state detection section is larger than a predetermined value (5%), the reception defection notice mail containing (a) channel information, which identifies content represented by the broadcast wave received by the broadcast wave receiving section, and (b) reception defection occurrence time (here, transmission time in lieu), and requesting rebroadcast of the content. With this arrangement, it is possible to promptly determine which content is to be rebroadcasted, according to state of all the viewers/listeners, without tedious manual operation by the viewers/listeners.
