Abstract
Provided is a network system having connected thereto (i) a plurality of television receivers each having a function for specifying television program reservations, and (ii) a recording device, such that a list of the program reservations configured by all of the television receivers can be viewed on one television receiver. The recording device produces a predefined common reservation code, and sequentially receives and records the program reservation instructions with the common reservation codes in memory. When a list of the reservations is requested by one television receiver, a program reservation instruction is sent from memory with the common reservation code, and a list of reservations is compiled based on the common reservation codes.
