A method and apparatus for controlling transitions among electronic program guide (EPG) modes are provided. The method includes (a) determining whether a predetermined key value for a mode transition is input while any one of the EPG modes is displayed, and (b) whenever such a predetermined key value for a mode transition is input in (a), controlling transitions among the EPG modes so that the EPG modes can be sequentially changed from one mode to another in accordance with a predetermined sequential order. Thus, since the EPG modes can be directly changed from one mode to another through simple key operations and without disabling the currently enabled EPG mode, it is possible to reduce the number of keys on a key input device. Further, usability can be improved since the EPG mode transitions can be achieved through the simple operations of fewer keys. |
