Abstract
A digital television which allows a user to view a digital broadcast program designates print information to be printed when making a DTV printer print using program information of the digital broadcast program and the print information supplied together with the program information. The digital television determines whether the print information is a content A supplied from a broadcast station together with the program information or a content B supplied from a WEB server by downloading it from a supply source. If the print information is the content B, the digital television determines whether the print information can be downloaded from the supply source prior to the program broadcasting. A system is thus constructed which can determine whether the print information can be printed when the user reserves printing of the print information.
