Abstract
The present invention provides a receiving apparatus for receiving digital broadcast having a plurality of channels including a transition unit configured to transit a mode for controlling channel selection from a normal mode to a warning mode in the case that a determining unit determines that the broadcasting program is allowed to obtain a right to receive a reward, and a notifying unit configured to notify, in the warning mode, that the right to receive the reward will be lost, in the case that a detecting unit detects a channel selection operation that selects another channel from the viewing channel broadcasting a broadcast program which is allowed to obtain the right to receive the reward.
