Abstract (en)

A desired service can be searched quickly. When a control unit checks the service configuration information in a DAB broadcast signal received at a DAB receiver unit in order to search a service, the control unit refers not only to the service configuration information of services now on air but also to the service configuration information after a configuration change indicated by the advance notice if it exists. If a desired service exists in the advance notice although it does not exist in the service configuration information of services now on air, the desired service is output when the configuration change occurs. If only the service configuration information of services now on air in the DAB broadcast signal is checked and if the desired service is DAB broadcast immediately thereafter, this service is missed. Such a miss can be avoided
