In a digital TV broadcast signal receiver connected to a multi-directional
antenna called smart antenna and receivable not only digital TV broadcast
signals but also analogue TV broadcast signals, an optimum signal
receiving direction of an analogue TV broadcast signal of an optional
channel can be decided with reducing affect of ghost due to reflection of
the TV broadcast signal by such as a high-rise building, or the like. An
NTSC decoder takes a still image data from an analogue TV broadcast
signal in each signal receiving direction of the multi-directional
antenna, and performs an A/D conversion processing and a JPEG compression
processing to the image data. A controller decides a direction, in which
a complexity, such as bit rate of the image data is the smallest, as an
optimum signal receiving direction of the channel.
