A digital TV broadcast signal receiver determines, as the best receiving
direction, a receiving direction in which a digital TV broadcast signal
can be accurately received. The digital TV broadcast signal receiver
continuously scans all the receiving directions of a multi-directional
antenna for each channel (S1), and demodulates received digital TV
broadcast signals so as to detect BER values (S2), and also stores the
detected BER values in a memory (S3). It further detects a minimum-error
receiving direction or directions, among all the receiving directions, to
give a minimum BER value, and determines whether or not there are
multiple minimum-error receiving directions (S4). If there are multiple
minimum-error receiving directions (YES in S4), it determines one of the
minimum-error receiving directions as the best receiving direction for
each channel with reference to BER values of receiving directions which
are adjacent to the minimum-error receiving directions (S5 to S10).
