Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for playing content by searching for information on the last-watched-point with respect to the content that a user watched previously, with only a selection of a file name of selected content when playing series content. The apparatus includes an information-extracting unit which extracts a series title and a program title with respect to specific content based on an electronic program guide of the series content, a control unit which generates a file name based on the extracted series title and program title, an item-generating unit which generates a content item based on the extracted series title and program title, and the generated file name, and a retrieval unit which, if the specific content is to be played, extracts a last-watched-point value by searching for information on a play point corresponding to the file name.

Abstract: A connector includes: a cable connecting unit that is connected with a cable via which a signal is transmitted from a first network apparatus; an apparatus connecting unit that is connected with a second network apparatus; a communicating unit that communicates with the first network apparatus and the second network apparatus; and a controller that controls the communicating unit to deliver the signal, which is received from the first network apparatus via the cable connecting unit, to the second network apparatus if the first network apparatus is a preset apparatus.
