Receiver for and method of receiving digital television signals in a multi-frequency network

摘要

A receiver capable of receiving a multiple frequency network (MFN) and a method for receiving the MFN are provided. The A/V signal of the current channel is reproduced after parsing only the program association table (PAT) and the program map table (PMT) of the currently searched channel so that the time for which the user waits for the networks to be searched will seem shorter, and the network list is displayed using an on screen display (OSD) when a network information table (NIT) is parsed while the A/V signal is reproduced. Therefore, it is possible to search all receivable networks in a boot mode where power supply is initially applied or in a network search mode set when a network environment is changed and to select desired networks among the receivable networks displayed by the OSD.
