1. A digital broadcast transmitter, comprising:

  • a first encoder configured to encode enhanced data for Forward Error Correction (FEC);

    a signaling encoder configured to encode signaling information;

    a second encoder configured to add parity data to the encoded enhanced data;

    a data interleaver configured to interleave the encoded enhanced data having the parity data to output a data group;

    wherein the data group includes data blocks including known data sequences,wherein a first known data sequence of the known data sequences is located in a third data block of the data blocks,wherein a second known data sequence and a third known data sequence of the known data sequences are located in a fourth data block of the data blocks,wherein a fourth known data sequence, a fifth known data sequence and a sixth known data sequence of the known data sequences are located in a fifth data block, a sixth data block and a seventh data block of the data blocks, respectively, andwherein the first known data sequence, the third known data sequence, the fourth known data sequence, the fifth known data sequence and the sixth known data sequence are located in the data blocks with a same pattern and are spaced specific segments apart; and

    a trellis encoder configured to have at least one memory and trellis-encode the interleaved data, the at least one memory being initialized by initialization data when input data corresponds to a beginning of a known data sequence.
