BROADCASTING RECEIVING APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

A broadcasting receiving apparatus and a control method thereof are provided to store channel information having the same bandwidth as a broadcasting signal of bi-directional data broadcasting separately and to scan a data broadcasting channel on the basis of the channel information. The first and second receiving members(110,120) receive a broadcasting signal including channel information. A control member(300) confirms whether there is a broadcasting signal capable of being received through the first receiving member according to the user's command and stores the channel information corresponding to the confirmed broadcasting signal in a stored member(200). The control member confirms whether the broadcasting signal with the predetermined type exists on the basis of the channel information stored in the storing member and controls the second receiving member so that the confirm broadcasting signal is received. The channel information received through the second receiving member is also stored in the storing member.
