Patent Images
1. A method of processing a digital television signal in a digital television receiver, the method comprising:
- receiving a digital television (DTV) signal including an event information table (EIT) containing information in chronological order for events on defined virtual channels;
demodulating the received DTV signal;
demultiplexing the EIT from the demodulated DTV signal;
parsing related event information from the demultiplexed EIT, the related event information defining one or more related events associated with a current event which is currently being displayed; and
storing the parsed event information.
