Apparatus and method for capturing still frames in a broadcast video signal

A broadcast receiving apparatus, and method, for capturing a broadcast signal, the apparatus including a signal processor to receive broadcast signals and process the broadcast signals, a controller to capture a certain frame data from the broadcast signals processed by the signal processor, check an input resolution of the broadcast signals, and decide whether to perform a down-scaling with respect to the captured frame data, a down-scaler to down-scale the frame data which is decided by the controller to be down-scaled, and a storage unit to store the down-scaled frame data. Accordingly, an image can be captured and a captured frame data can be stored without being degraded, preventing memory consumption.
