The broadcast receiver comprises a control section for controlling operations, and on the basis of control by the control section, receives a broadcast signal by a receiving section, demodulates to process the received signal to convert it into a display signal and stores the display signal on a recording medium in response to an operation input. A storage section stores a plurality of types of the operational situation display panels in advance. An operational situation display panel control section of the broadcast receiver has a function of selecting any one of forms of the operational situation display panels in response to a switching operation at arbitrary time to output it as video to a screen.
