Abstract
A digital broadcast reception device includes a first broadcast reception system, a second broadcast reception system, an audio similarity-degree detection processor, a service list storage unit, and a reception monitoring unit that sends a notification signal to the first broadcast reception system when a value representing reception status of a channel currently selected by the first broadcast reception system becomes low. Upon receiving the notification signal, the first broadcast reception system refers to values representing audio similarity-degree in a service list stored in the service list storage unit, thereby judges a program which is most similar to the program of the channel currently selected by the first broadcast reception system as an identical program, and switches the channel to a channel judged as the identical program.
