ABSTRACT:
A digital physical receiving apparatus and a receiving method thereof. The digital broadcasting receiving apparatus includes a channel information storage unit to store information on a receivable physical channel among physical channels allocated to discriminate digital broadcasting signals transmitted from a pluarlity of broadcasting stations, and a transceiver identification (Tx ID) allocated to discriminate a transceiving region of the broadcasting signal, an input unit to input a virtual channel of the digital broadcasting signal and a receiving region corresponding to a desired analog broadcasting channel, a control unit to select the physical channel having the inputted virtual channel and making a channel selecting priority list when a plurality of the physical channels are selected, and an on-screen display (OSD) processing unit to display the channel selecting priority list when the broadcasting signal of the first priority channel is displayed. When there are a plurality of the physical channels having the desired virtual channel, the control unit gives first priority to the physical channel having the same Tx ID as the received Tx ID, and determines a channel selecting priority with respect to the rest of the physical channels in an ascending order of the channel number, thereby solving a problem of overlap of the virtual channel.
