The digital/analog television signal receiving set 10 includes a tuner
12, and the tuner 12 receives television signals of ATSC system and
NTSC system. In the case of automatic scanning, a virtual channel table with respect
to television signals of ATSC system capable of being received is stored in the
memory 28. A channel number of television signals of NTSC system capable
of being received is stored in the memory 28. Successively, it is detected
whether or not an analog television channel described on the virtual channel table
stored in the memory 28 can be received. When it is possible to receive
the analog television channel, the channel number of the television signal of NTSC
system is deleted from the memory 28. However, when it is possible to receive
the analog television channel, the analog television channel included on the virtual
channel table is deleted from the memory 28.
