Abstract
A hard disk recorder that can help to configure a group of information of a periodically broadcasted program includes: a remote control receiver that receives an instruction from a user; a controller that determines whether an instruction to record a broadcast program also designates a periodical interval applied to record the broadcast program, and if so then determines a series ID common among a group of broadcast programs and depends on whether series ID is shared to search broadcast program title information for and retrieve information corresponding to group of broadcast programs, and generates a play list including the retrieved information; an antenna receiving a broadcast signal of a broadcast program; a tuner extracting a broadcast signal; a HD device recording a series ID, broadcast program title information, and a broadcast signal in association with each other; and a video output device outputting the play list.
