Method for searching a digital broadcasting channel in a digital broadcasting reception device

摘要

A method for searching a digital broadcasting channel in a digital broadcasting reception device for receiving digital broadcasting signals from local-area broadcasting stations that provide broadcasting services for specific areas. A location information code of each area and a list of digital broadcasting channels through which a service is possible in each area are mapped and stored. When a user requests a digital broadcasting channel search, a determination is made as to whether a location information code of an area where the digital broadcasting reception device is located matches one of location information codes stored on an area-by-area basis. When the matched location information code is present as a result of the determination, only broadcasting channels of the stored digital broadcasting channel list mapped to the matched location information code are searched, and the broadcasting channels through which broadcasting can be received are displayed.
