An information processing apparatus includes a tuner receiving a signal according
to a received broadcast, a first processing part performing a desired processing
on the signal supplied from the tuner, converting the signal into a first signal
of a given format, and outputting the first signal, a second processing part converting
the signal supplied from the tuner into a second signal of the given format and
outputting the second signal, and an output part selectively outputting one of
the first and second signals. The first and second processing parts are startable
independently of each other.
