Abstract
According to one embodiment, the apparatus has a first block configured to be connected to a receiving block for a television signal and a second block independent from the first block, configured to be connected to a network. A bypass route is configured to lead a bypass stream including an image signal from the first block to the second block. A processor is configured to generate a return stream by inserting the image signal from the network into the image signal on the bypass stream, at the second block. A return pass is configured to return the return stream to the first block. And a converter is configured to convert the image signal included in the return stream into a signal for output and display, at the first block.
