This invention provides a program information display control apparatus
and method, a remote control device, a program, and a storage medium,
which can simultaneously display the contents and detailed information of
specific programs that follow predetermined rules such as a time band,
genre, and the like. To this end, detailed program information associated
with each of programs to be displayed on an EPG is acquired from an
antenna (1101) and tuner (1102). The acquired program information is
stored in a memory (1150) via a decoder (1103). A viewer designates
programs, details of which are to be displayed, using a remote controller
(12), and the memory (1150) is searched for detailed program information
of a plurality of designated programs. An image controller (1121)
simultaneously displays a plurality of pieces of program information
associated with these designated programs at their display positions on
the EPG displayed on a display unit (1122).
