Abstract
A network system includes a terminal apparatus, a recording apparatus, and a network. The recording apparatus includes a record-scheduling-state storing section that stores data of a record scheduling state of a program and a record-scheduling-state providing section that transmits the data of the record scheduling state stored in the record-scheduling-state storing section through the network. The terminal apparatus includes a record-scheduling-state acquiring section that acquires the data of the record scheduling state of the recording apparatus through the network, an EPG data acquiring section that acquires EPG data, a record-scheduling-state-display processing section that creates, on the basis of the data of the record scheduling state acquired by the record-scheduling-state acquiring section and the EPG data acquired by the EPG data acquiring section, EPG display data that reflects the record scheduling state, and a display unit that displays the EPG display data created by the record-scheduling-state-display processing section.
