Abstract
A data broadcast program transport stream (TS) transmission device provided in a broadcast station, and for transmitting a data broadcast program TS based on a data broadcast program TS distributed over a network by another broadcast station. The data broadcast program TS transmission device stores a selection list that shows whether data broadcast program elements of the received data broadcast program are for inclusion in the data broadcast program TS of the broadcast station, and a replacement list that shows the replacement of data broadcast program elements for inclusion with local program elements produced in the broadcast station. A separation judgment unit separates TS packets from the received data broadcast program TS, refers to the selection list, and notifies the replacement execution unit of data broadcast program elements for inclusion. Furthermore, if data broadcast program elements judged for inclusion are shown for replacement in the replacement list, the separation judgment unit sends a replacement instruction to the replacement execution unit. The replacement execution unit reads the local program elements indicated in the replacement instruction from the program element storage unit, generates TS packets, and outputs the generated TS packets together with selected TS packets to a multiplexing device as the data broadcast program TS of the broadcast station.
