A video recorder includes a schedule reconfiguration section having: a local deterioration determining module that determines whether a local deterioration in a recording state occurs by performing simulating the recording state obtained when the reallocated resources are used for performing the programmed recordings and comparing the simulated recording state with a recording state obtained when the resources before the reallocation is used for performing the programmed recordings; and an allocation restoring module that restores the reallocated resources at a part causing the local deterioration to the resources allocated before the reallocation when the local deterioration determining module determines the occurrence of the local deterioration.
