an EPG data acquiring section that acquires EPG data;

a record-scheduling-state-display processing section that creates, on the basis of the data of the record scheduling state acquired by the record-scheduling-state acquiring section and the EPG data acquired by the EPG data acquiring section, EPG display data that reflects the record scheduling state; and

a display that displays the EPG display data created by the record-scheduling-state-display processing section,

wherein the record-scheduling-state acquiring section acquires data of record scheduling states of a plurality of the recording apparatuses through the network, and

the record-scheduling-state-display processing section creates EPG display data that reflects a record scheduling state for each of the recording apparatuses selected by a user.

2. A terminal apparatus, comprising:

a record-scheduling-state acquiring section that acquires data of a record scheduling state of a recording apparatus through a network;

an EPG data acquiring section that acquires EPG data;

a record-scheduling-state-display processing section that creates, on the basis of the data of the record scheduling state acquired by the record-scheduling-state acquiring section and the EPG data acquired by the EPG data acquiring section, EPG display data that reflects the record scheduling state; and

a display that displays the EPG display data created by the record-scheduling-state-display processing section,

wherein the record-scheduling-state acquiring section acquires data of record scheduling states of a plurality of the recording apparatuses through the network, and

the record-scheduling-state-display processing section creates EPG display data that reflects a record scheduling state for each of the recording apparatuses selected by a user.

3. The terminal apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the data of the record scheduling state of the recording apparatus includes data concerning a record-scheduled program.

4. The terminal apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the data of the record scheduling state of the recording apparatus includes data concerning a record scheduling candidate program.

5. The terminal apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the data of the record scheduling state of the recording apparatus includes data concerning a record-scheduled program and data concerning a record scheduling candidate program.

6. The terminal apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the record-scheduling-state-display processing section creates EPG display data that reflects the record scheduling state such that it is possible to identify the record scheduled program and the record scheduling candidate program.

7. The terminal apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the record-scheduling-state-display processing section creates the EPG display data in which the acquired record scheduling states of the recording apparatuses are united and reflected on the EPG data.

8. The terminal apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the record-scheduling-state acquiring section requests acquisition of the data of the record scheduling state through the network and acquires the data of the record scheduling state as a response to the request.

9. The terminal apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising a remote-record-scheduling processing section that transmits a record scheduling request for a program selected by a user on an EPG that is displayed on the display and reflects the record scheduling state through the network.

10. The terminal apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the remote-record-scheduling processing section transmits a cancellation request for record scheduling for the program selected by the user on the EPG that is displayed on the display unit and reflects the record scheduling state.

11. A method of displaying, in a terminal apparatus, a record scheduling state of a recording apparatus, comprising:

first acquiring data of a record scheduling state of the recording apparatus through a network;

second acquiring

EPG data;

creating, on the basis of the acquired data of the record scheduling state and the acquired EPG data, EPG display data that reflects the record scheduling state; and

displaying the created EPG display data,

wherein the first acquiring step comprises acquiring data of record scheduling states of a plurality of the recording apparatuses through the network, and

the creating step comprises creating the EPG display data, reflects a record scheduling state for each of the recording apparatuses selected by a user.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a computer program for a terminal apparatus for causing a computer to perform a method, comprising:

first acquiring data of a record scheduling state of a recording apparatus through a network;

second acquiring

EPG data;

creating, on the basis of the acquired data of the record scheduling state and the acquired EPG data, EPG display data that reflects the record scheduling state; and

displaying the created EPG display,

wherein the first acquiring step comprises acquiring data of record scheduling states of a plurality of the recording apparatuses through the network, and

the creating step comprises creating the EPG display data, which reflects a record scheduling state for each of the recording apparatuses selected by a user.
