METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC PROGRAM GUIDE OF MULTI INPUT SOURCES

PURPOSE: An EPG(Electronic Program Guide) providing method for multiple input sources and a device thereof are provided to generate an integrated EPG by receiving EPG information. CONSTITUTION: One or more ports receive signals. An input source identification unit(220) identifies a plurality of input sources. An EPG information reception unit(230) receives EPG information of the input sources. An integrated EPG generation unit(240) generates an integrated EPG by integrating the EPG information. An output unit(250) outputs the integrated EPG.
