  • VIRTUAL CHANNEL TABLE FOR A BROADCAST PROTOCOL AND METHOD OF BRAODCASTING AND RECEIVING BROADCAST SIGNALS USING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20120137331
    Abstract: A virtual channel table for broadcasting protocol and a method for broadcasting by using the virtual channel table includes identification information identifying and permitting discrimination of active and inactive channels contained in the virtual channel table. At a receiver, the virtual channel table transmitted from the transmitting side is parsed, thereby determining whether the current received channel is an active or inactive channel.
