A personal video recorder with a passive highlight function is provided. In the recorder, a stream demultiplexer separates a received broadcast stream including highlight information into video, audio, data, and highlight information streams, and transfers the separated streams to respective decoder blocks capable of decoding the separated streams. A storage unit stores the received broadcast stream, a download controller stores the received broadcast stream in the storage unit, and an upload controller reproduces the broadcast stream stored in it. A playback controller accurately locates and reads highlight data to be reproduced from the broadcast stream and controls playback speed of the highlight data using the highlight information stream. A method for providing highlight information to the personal video recorder is also provided, in which highlight information of a broadcast program is generated, the highlight information is combined with a broadcast stream to be transmitted, and the broadcast stream combined therewith is transmitted.
