A picture in picture (PIP) image reproducing apparatus and method are provided which is capable of image reproducing during a firmware upgrade of a cable card in which, an image signal that is displayed a main screen is switched to an auxiliary screen if tuning for a homing signal for upgrading the cable card interferes with the reproduction of the image signal that is currently being displayed on the main screen. As a result of switching the image displayed on the main screen to the auxiliary screen, the image can be continuously viewed even while the upgrade of the cable card occurs. In addition, if no image signal is being displayed on the auxiliary screen at the time when the homing signal is received, an input signal may be selected and displayed in the main screen while the image signal which was previously displayed in the main screen is reproduced on the auxiliary screen.
