A satellite broadcasting system is disclosed wherein, when a broadcasting program
is broadcast by satellite broadcasting, each viewer can receive a different broadcasting
program depending upon the district in which the viewer is present. A broadcasting
program is composed of an area designation part in which a list of areas in which
the broadcasting program is to be broadcast is accommodated and broadcasting contents
themselves. The broadcasting program is received by a radio wave reception section.
A current position acquisition section detects the current position of a receiver.
The current position is compared with an area to physical district coordination
table and converted into an area name by a current area detection section. If the
area name outputted from the current area detection section is included in the
area designation part of the broadcasting program received from the radio wave
reception section, then a broadcasting propriety discrimination section outputs
the contents part of the broadcasting program to are production section. Alternatively,
if the area name is included in the area designation part of the broadcasting program,
then the broadcasting propriety discrimination section refrains itself from outputting
the contents part of the broadcasting program to the reproduction section.
