DETAILED DESCRIPTION There, main purpose of the invention is providing broadcasting receiver which suppresses amount of information recorded in storage media as much as possible by supervising recorded file and running it appropriately, and realizes user's request of wanting recording favorite program and watching it anytime. Other purpose of the invention is providing broadcasting receiver which can reduce failure of record transaction which processes so that capacity in which use on storage media is possible may be secured beforehand, or promotes user's transaction efficiently and effectively, and originates in deficiency of capacity which can be used by this. In order to attain the above-mentioned purposes, the broadcasting receiver by the present invention, comprises of: program selection means for choosing signal of at least one program from digital broadcasting signals received, program record means for creating file or directory to storage media, and for recording the program chosen by said program selection means; related information administration means for controlling and updating information relevant to record and playback of the program recorded in the storage media by the program record means; and related information display control means for controlling display of the related information of record playback controlled and updated by the related information administration means. The alarm gives caution to user. Moreover, related information administration means presents user related information effective in deletion or move using the attribute of file or directory of program. Thereby, user can secure free disk space now efficiently. Furthermore, record program signal administration means checks almost periodically use status of storage media, and status of recorded file. Thereby, free disk space of storage media can be expanded now without user's annoyance.
