A digital television broadcast signal receiver connected to a
multi-directional antenna carries out in advance automatic scanning for
each channel to determine and store the strength of a signal received in
each of multiple receiving directions of the antenna, a best receiving
direction, and a maximum value of the received signal strengths,
normalize the received signal strengths measured in the respective
directions with respect to the maximum received signal strength, and
produce and store an antenna direction level pattern including a bar
graph that shows the received signal strengths in the respective
directions with the normalized values used as the amplitude. In response
to a command from a user, the receiver superimposes the level pattern on
a video image being received for display on a display screen, so that a
user can select a receiving direction on the screen. When image
degradation takes place during signal reception by the antenna having
been already adjusted in orientation, a user can manually reorient the
antenna so as to quickly improve the receiving condition without the need
for additional time-consuming automatic scanning for adjustment of the
orientation of the antenna.
