Abstract
When a channel which is not scrambled is selected, an error occurs in a digital stream processed in a CA processing module, which causes noises to occur in video and audio signals to be viewed. If a FAT channel to be received is a channel that is not CA-scrambled, a digital stream is directly supplied from a FAT demodulator to a demultiplexer without passing the digital stream through an external processing module. As a result, no noise occurs in video and audio signals to be viewed because the video and audio signals are not influenced by an error of the digital stream that occurs in the processing module.
