An apparatus and a method for securing storage capacity for time shift of digital broadcast recording and reproducing device are provided to secure a storage capacity for data for time shifting being stored without dividing a storage capacity of a storage unit. A storage unit(110) stores data for time shifting or video recording data encoded through an MPEG encoder of a video processing unit(108). A storage capacity check part(112) checks a remaining storage capacity of the storage unit. When a recording order is inputted by a user, a storage capacity administration unit(114) compares the set up time shifting capacity with the remaining storage capacity checked in the storage capacity check part. If the remaining storage capacity is lower than the time shifting capacity set up in advance, the storage capacity administration unit performs a management operation so that the inputted recording order as described above not to be operated. The storage capacity administration unit performs a management operation to indicate a message on a screen that the remaining storage capacity is insufficient. |
