ABSTRACT:
A method of processing a broadcast signal in a television receiver and a television receiver using the same are provided, by which contiguous packets of a transport stream can be selectively blocked in reproduction. The television receiver includes a decoder for decoding a broadcast signal constructed as a transport stream of at least one packet; a flag setting unit for setting in response to a control signal at least one blocking flag identifying at least one contiguous section of the transport stream, the at least one blocking flag being located in at least one unused field of the decoded transport stream; a controller for outputting the control signal to the flag setting unit according to a user selection signal input; and a storage medium for storing the decoded transport stream in which the at least one blocking flag is set.
