A broadcasting processing apparatus and method which performs a search or reservation with regard to a future broadcasting program that is not yet stored in electronic program guide (EPG) data. The broadcasting processing apparatus includes a signal processor which processes a broadcasting signal including EPG data; and a controller which searches the EPG data to determine whether data corresponding to a broadcasting program is currently included in the EPG data, and performs a set reservation function with respect to the broadcasting program if it is determined that the data corresponding to the broadcasting program is currently included in the EPG data, and if the controller determines that the data corresponding a broadcasting program is not currently included in the EPG data, the controller repeatedly searches the EPG data at periodic intervals to determine whether the data corresponding the broadcasting program is included in the EPG data which is updated. |
