A digital broadcasting receiver capable of receiving HD (High Definition) broadcasting,
SD (Standard Definition) broadcasting and the like. In the digital broadcasting
receiver, a digital broadcasting signal subjected to demodulation is separated/divided
in a transport unit before being supplied to decoders. Data on a packet ID included
in the digital broadcasting signal is outputted from the transport unit. An MPU
determines HD broadcasting or SD broadcasting according to the data on the packet
ID and when the MPU determines the SD broadcasting, it instructs the transport
unit to have a set subchannel displayed and also instructs an OSD control unit
to make an OSD of the subchannel.
