Broadcasting and communication receiver apparatus

A digital receiver comprising:

• a receiver which receives a video program and program information including a title of the video program;
• a decoder which decodes the program information;
• a display controller which controls a display of the program information, the display having a first display zone which displays at least a part of the title included in the program information under control of the display controller and a second display zone which displays an entirety of the title included in the program information under control of the display controller;
• wherein the display controller includes an input data amount calculator to calculate an amount of an input data for the first display zone, and a comparator to compare the amount of the input data calculated by the calculator with an amount of displayable data in the first display zone,
• and when the amount of the input data is larger than the amount of the displayable data in the first display zone, a part of the title and a symbol indicative of omission are displayed,
• and when the first display zone is selected, an entirety of the title in the selected first display zone is displayed in the second display zone.

A digital receiver comprising:

• a receiver means for receiving video program and program information including a title of the video program;
