Digital broadcast receiving apparatus and method for controlling the same
There is provided a digital broadcast receiving apparatus comprising an acceptance unit and a change unit. Subsidiary information includes application control information indicating “finishing” or “not finishing” the execution of a data broadcast application by an execution unit when a program included in broadcast program data in playback by a playback unit has been switched to another program. The acceptance unit is configured to accept a continuation instruction indicating continuing the execution of the data broadcast application by the execution unit even after a program included in the broadcast program data in playback by the playback unit is finished. The change unit is configured to, when the application control information has indicated “finishing” and the acceptance unit has accepted the continuation instruction, change the application control information so as to indicate “not finishing” before the program included in the broadcast program data in playback by the playback unit is finished.
