Method of controlling a television receiver and television receiver using the same

Abstract

A method of controlling a television receiver for receiving at least one broadcast signal or moving picture displays a recording list according to content of the recorded matter, thereby enabling a user to block selectively files of a recording list based on a comparison of a display rating and attribute information of each moving picture, e.g., a rating corresponding to content. The method includes steps of determining attribute information of the at least one broadcast signal; storing the determined attribute information in correspondence with a recording list index identifying the stored at least one broadcast signal; and generating a recording list according to the stored recording list index and the stored attribute information. The television receiver includes a storage device for storing the received at least one broadcast signal and a recording list index identifying the stored at least one broadcast signal and for storing attribute information of the at least one broadcast signal; a user interface for setting a display rating; and a system controller for generating a recording list according to the stored recording list index and the stored attribute information and for discriminating, in searching the moving picture files, a display of the recording list by comparing the moving picture rating to the display rating.
