A receiver (10) includes one or more tuners (12) and one or more controller-circuits (28). The one or more tuners (12) are operable to receive broadcast-signals (14) from transmitters. The broadcast-signals (14) include metadata (16) that includes the broadcast-station-name (18). The one or more controller-circuits (28) are in communication with the one or more tuners (12). The one or more controller-circuits (28) store the metadata (16) in a first-memory-location (32), detect metadata-sequences (38) based on the metadata (16) stored in the first-memory-location (32), count occurrences (40) of each metadata-sequence (38), determine whether the count of occurrences (40) of each metadata-sequence (38) is greater than a first-threshold (42), determine the broadcast-station-name or its sequences (18) and store the broadcast-station-name (18) in a second-memory-location (44). A method (100) of operating a receiver (10) is also provided.

The appearance of a display image of image content is made appropriate without particular user operation irrespective of viewing environment changes.

A reception unit receives image content. A processing unit performs image quality adjustment processing on the received image content on the basis of metadata for image quality adjustment depending on viewing environment information. For example, the reception unit transmits the viewing environment information to a server and receives the metadata from the server. Further, for example, a metadata generation unit configured to generate the metadata on the basis of the viewing environment information is provided.

An audio output device has a lantern part extends along a first axis, an antenna part, an audio output part, and a control part. The antenna part has a first end and a second end that are respectively connected to a first side and a second side relative to a central part of the lantern part in a first direction parallel to the first axis. A portion of the antenna part between the first end and the second end extends in the first direction and is spaced apart from the lantern part in a direction orthogonal to the first direction. The control part is configured to cause the audio output part to output sound corresponding to a radio broadcasting wave received by the antenna part.
