Abstract

An information processing apparatus in which television channel setting processing and provider setting processing can be completed expeditiously. T o this end, the information processing apparatus 4 has the function of connecting t o the Internet 2 and the function of receiving television broadcast from the broadcasting stations 5-1 to 5-3. If, when the broadcast territory of using the informati on processing apparatus 4 is set and registered, the Internet service provider is to be set, the Internet service providers are demonstrated in the display unit of the information processing apparatus 4 beginning from those geographically closest to the user's territory.
