Abstract

A broadcast signal includes an information table (EIT) or an application information table (AIT) which includes a descriptor. The descriptor includes image data representative of a thumbnail image to be displayed within an electronic program guide (EPG). A decoder decodes the EIT or AIT from a broadcast signal, and an application manager displays the thumbnail image within an EPG to indicate that a channel scheduled to carry a broadcast program is also scheduled to carry broadcast data simultaneously.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to digital data broadcasting, and more particularly, to broadcasting signals and an apparatus and method for decoding broadcasting signals. Background technique [0002] Recently, digital data broadcasting has seriously emerged as a hot broadcasting issue. Currently, in Korea, broadcasting companies are promoting experimental broadcasting of terrestrial broadcasting, and are implementing two-way data broadcasting of satellite broadcasting. Plus, actual data broadcasting from cable companies is coming. [0003] In such digital broadcasting, the most useful information for users may be channel and program guide information, that is, electronic program guide (EPG) or advanced program guide (APG). [0004] FIG. 1 shows an example of a general EPG provided in digital broadcasting. [0005] As shown in Figure 1, users are able to obtain information from the EPG, such as the time and title of broadcast programs, and on-duty ma...
