A digital recording and reproducing device (10) converts an MPEG stream output from a plurality of tuners (12) that can receive a plurality of television signals in accordance with a proper bit rate, resolution, and a compressing system. A server provides a time index with an identifier to identify program data and program corner data. The digital recording and reproducing device receives and records the identifier. A signal receiving unit (25) receives a reproduction signal of the program data from a controller and an input unit (28) that transmit an input signal related to reproduction of the program data. A control unit (18) detects an identifier of a time index corresponding to the reproduction signal received by the signal receiving unit (25) and program data related to the identifier are extracted from a recording means (17).
